National Park Grand Canyon - a nature reserve, one of the natural wonders of the world! It attracts millions of people every year to see the fantastic landscapes and to experience for yourself a truly gigantic proportions depression!
This is the first observation points. In total, we visited two.

And with every minute canyon increasingly shrouded haze.
