General information

No other canyon impresses more (is more impressing) to the viewer than the Colorado
River canyons in northern Arizona but through countless
pictures (Fotografs) no canyon is as well known as the Grand Canyon.

The park (which park?) includes 1904 square miles / 4931 square km.
Most people measure (eher: Usually, mostly the CR is measured) the canyon in Colorado River miles.
By that standard, the Grand Canyon is 277 miles / 446 km long
and has an average depth of 1600 metres.
It begins at Lees Ferry and ends at Grand Wash Cliffs.
The Colorado River is longer than Grand Canyon, flowing (running) 1,450
miles / 2,333 km from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the
Gulf of California in Mexico.
The Grand Canyon is only one of many beautiful canyons carved
by the river.
Most people agree, however, that Grand Canyon is the most
spectacular.
No other place in the world looks quite like it. das gilt für die meisten Orte

The Grand Canyon is still one of the best known and most
popular attractions in the United States.
Every year, four million people visit the Grand Canyon
National Park.
The majority of these visitors, tourists visit the better developed (inwiefern "better developed"?)South Rim,
while a mionority, only a few visit the natural (?) part of the Grand Canyon the
North Rim.
In high season (Singular), the South Rim is often crowded so much that
parking could be a problem
therefore the number of visitors is limited (restricted).
Most visitors only stop at the famous viewpoints and take
short walks along the rims.
But only when you
walk at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, you are really able to appreciate it.
You can reach the rugged shores of the Colorado River over
several well developed paths down.

A new attraction at the Grand Canyon West has opened in 2006,
the Skywalk.
It is a glass bridge at a height of nearly 1300 meters. This
is almost three times higher than the Sears Tower in Chicago.
On the Skywalk, you can see the Colorado River 1200 meters
below in the Central Valley but 2 kilometres away (unklar: 1200m nach unten und 2 km zur Seite, oder wie?).
Access was initially through a temporary tunnel, and later via the
Visitor Center, which is scheduled to be completed in early
2007. The trip from Las Vegas lasts about 2 1/2 hours.

History

about 1000 BC

Indians (native Americans!) already lived as hunters and gatherers in the area of
the Grand Canyon.

about 0 AD

The Anasazi lived in this area. They lived in mud huts. (Nicht wirklich, sie errichteten auch Mauern und nutzten die Wände der Canyons.
The Anasazi disappeared at around 1300 AD.
The Hopi and other Indian peoples populated the area too. Sie immigrierten irgendwann, wurden von den Weißen vertrieben und später von der USregierung wieder dort angesiedelt
Today, the Havasupai Indians (und andere, gehört soweit ich weiss zum grossen reservat) live in the area of the Grand
Canyon.

1540 AD

The first time the Grand Canyon was visited by Europeans (naja, ein spanischer Abenteurer ...),
however, 200 years long nobody was interested in it because it was
considered worthless. Worthlessness erklären!

1776 AD

First in 1776 the people began to explore the Grand Canyon.
They were looking for a simple way to cross the canyon.

About 1850 AD

Settlers came to this area. Was für Settler? Bauern, Viehhalter, Händler, Miners? Wie vertrugen sie sich mit der indigenen Bevölkerung?

24th May 1879

John Wesley Powell went (was für Boote, Ruder Kajak, Segel, Dampf? with 4 wooden boats to the Green
River.
After 1500 miles and countless current thresholds, the
expedition ended at the Virgin River.
2 years later, he mapped the Grand Canyon on a new journey.
He also gave his name to the Grand Canyon. Nein: Lake Powell wurde nach ihm benannt, nicht der Canyon

11th January 1908

U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt declared the area
a National Monument.

26th February 1919

The Grand Canyon finally became a national park.

1979

Since 1979 the Grand Canyon is on the UNESCO - World Heritage List.
(Weltnaturerbe).

January 2007

The Sky walk was built.
