America’s 15th oldest park and one of the seven natural wonders of the world,the Grand Canyon National Park was officially made a park this month in 1919. The canyon itself is estimated to be six million to 70 million years old. According to some geologists, the Colorado River has been carving through the canyon for the past six million years.
Theodore Roosevelt, America’s 26th president and an outdoorsman, was a big supporter of making the Grand Canyon a national park back in 1903. Since then, the canyon, along with its surrounding park, has received more than five million visitors per year.

大峽谷國家公園於 1919 年二月正式成立，它是美國開園時間排行第十五名久遠的公園及世界七大自然奇
景之一。大峽谷本身估計有六百萬至七千萬年之久。根據一些地質學家的說法，大峽谷是經由科羅拉多河在這過
去六百萬年來沖刷而過所形成的。
西奧多•羅斯福是美國第二十六任總統而且是個熱愛戶外活動的人，他在 1903 年時也是成立大峽谷國家
公園的大力支持者之一。此後，該峽谷以及它附近的公園每年接納五百多萬位觀光客。
