The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World.

The Northern to Southern rim are about 220 miles apart and 8000 feet in elevation. The northern rim is called Bright Angel Point which also gets the most amount of tourism.

Because it is so much higher than the South Rim, it is closed from December 1 through May 15 each year, due to the enhanced snowfall at elevation.

Believe it or not it snows in the desert
