The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, is located in the state of Arizona.
It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Formed by over 70 million years of erosion from the
Colorado River, the Grand Canyon offers a spectacular view. The canyon
spans 277 miles in length, up to 18 miles in width, and it measures over a mile in depth at its deepest
points. Carlos always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, and recently he received the chance to hike
some of the trails and take several panoramic photographs during his visit.
When Carlos arrived at the visitor center, he watched a brief movie that taught tourists about the
Grand Canyon National Park and the geological history of the canyon’s formation. Later, Carlos
followed a hiking trail to become even further acquainted with the canyon. While walking through the
trails, Carlos saw some tourists riding donkeys to traverse the canyon’s ridges. Throughout his hiking
expedition, Carlos used a map to find some of the best hot spots for photographs within the canyon.
He revisited some areas at different points in the day because sun angles and lighting can make a big
difference in the quality of a photo.

so this was the perfect outdoor experience for him. He posted all of his best pictures on social media,
