Item Name: Grand Canyon Kit

Widely proclaimed as one of the wonders of the natural world, the Grand Canyon winds its way through the plateau that the Paiutes call Kaibab (or Mountain Lying Down) for more than 270 miles. President Theodore Roosevelt set aside the canyon as a national monument in 1908. It was elevated to national park status by Congress in 1919, and has inspired millions of visitors. Averaging about 10 miles wide and nearly one mile deep, the rocky splendor of the canyon reveals a colorful layered story of geologic events dating back millions of years.
