Park

2. IS ONE OF THE LARGE NATURAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD
AND IS APPROX 230 KMS OF LAS VEGAS

3. The Colorado River
was the one who
formed the canyon
over millions of

sediment
accumulation.
Later, the collision
of tectonic plates
increased
sediment, thus
forming a large
plateau that sits at
present between
2100 and 2700
meters above sea
level.
