Grand Canyon National Park, 100 Views

BEST SELLER KEEPSAKE to Celebrate the 100th Birthday of Grand Canyon National Park during 2019.

Grand Canyon National Park, 100 Views is the official publication of Grand Canyon National Parks Centennial. Grand Canyon became a national park on February 26, 1919.

In celebration of this legacy national parks centennial, the work of 32 of Grand Canyons most talented photographers is paired with essays by canyon veteran Scott Thybony in a love letter to an irreplaceable place. Like candles on a birthday cake, 100 breathtaking photographs capture the deep and abiding appeal of Grand Canyon as Thybony so eloquently writes, its pure geometry of earth and sky.

After president Theodore Roosevelt toured Grand Canyon in the spring of 1903, he described it as beautiful and terrible and unearthly. Today, the more than six million people who visit Grand Canyon National Park each year some for the first time, some for the hundredth would no doubt agree with him. They stand awestruck on its rims, hike its trails, run its river. What they see depends on where they are, but the views are never boring, and never the same. One of the seven wonders of the natural world, Grand Canyon, Arizona, is an enigma that resists definition, and the challenge it presents has drawn artists, writers, and photographers to it year after year.
