Arizona's Grand Canyon
Conveniently located in central Arizona, Scottsdale is the perfect hub for exploring all the natural wonders and unique attractions that Arizona has to offer. And perhaps the most popular day trip from Scottsdale is an excursion to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World - the majestic Grand Canyon.

Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon has long fascinated visitors with its breathtaking scenic vistas. Carved out by the Colorado River over the last 6 to 10 million years, the Grand Canyon is considered one of the finest examples of arid-land erosion in the world. Measuring some 15 miles from rim to rim at its widest point, the Canyon averages 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles. The colorful strata of the canyon walls offer an excellent record of three of the four eras of geological time, tracking the earth's evolution over the last 2 billion years.
