Natural History

The Grand Canyon is much more than a mere cleft in the continent. This World Heritage Site is a geologic marvel with many tales to tell about the formation of the Colorado Plateau, and the planet itself.  Rocks are only part of the picture as the intricate biotic web of life is equally compelling.

Classes in this section are designed to immerse participants in this unfolding story.
