One of the most popular Arizona attractions still remains the vast and spectacular Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona. The canyon was carved by the gushing waters of the Colorado River which, over the course of millions of years, gave it its distinct natural  curves. This steep and colorful gorge is today, considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Grand Canyon National Park was also one of the earliest parks authorized by the U.S Government. To make the most of their Arizona vacation, tourists can choose from a variety of guided tours of the canyon, from one day treks to several days, including helicopter tours and mule rides to the bottom of the canyon. The Grand Canyon Railway, which leaves from Williams, is also a great way to see the Canyon.
