USA: Grand Canyon

On Monday I got six postcards: two from the USA, one from Indonesia, one from Sweden, one from Germany and one from the Netherlands. 

One of the cards from the USA shows the Grand Canyon in the State of Arizona. The Grand Canyon was created by the Colorado River digging into the stone. It is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. In 1919 the Grand Canyon National Park was established and today it is a popular tourist destination. Since 1979 is the Grand Canyon National Park on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Thank You very much Susan!
