The Grand Canyon, created over millions of years by the Colorado River, is a natural wonder of fascinating beauty, unique in the world. The lookout points on the South Rim, developed for tourism, as well as the more isolated North Rim, display new, impressive perspectives of the canyon. A visitor's gaze falls on mighty rock towers, bizarre stone pyramids and majestic buttes with illustrious names, such as Isis Temple, Vishnu Temple or Wotan's Throne. A descent into the depth is a incomparable ramble through two billion years of earth's history, an experience which thrills visitors, and not just those interested in geology. Photographer Christan Heeb portrays the variety and beauty of the grandiose canyon terrain in impressively detailed and panoramic photographs. Helmut Friedrich's essay discusses its creation and exploration as well as the Colorado River's importance today as an energy source. The concise travel guide provides useful tips for travel, excursions, hiking and sport possibilities in the canyon area. To complete the volume, a collection of selected texts in the anthology expresses the fascination the Grand Canyon has exercised on earlier explorers.
