Arizona - Grand Canyon: Shadows and red rocks - it's set for an impressive sunset

            This bizarre beauty of the unique ecosystem has long been under special protection. In 1919, the Grand Canyon was designated a national park by the United States. In 1979, the United Nations also included the Grand Canyon in the Unesco World Natural Heritage.

Every year, about five million visitors marvel at the canyon, which develops its most beautiful colors in the setting evening sun. The Grand Canyon, which is about 450 kilometers long, reaches up to 1800 meters deep into the earth in places. The rocks at the bottom of the canyon, different crystalline shales and pink Precambrian granite, are two billion years old.
