Sedona & Oak Creek Canyon is a slot canyon, a narrow canyon formed by the wear of water rushing through rock and significantly more deep than it is wide. Often times slot canyons are formed in limestone rock and sandstone, although some rock types like basalt and granite are also possible. Only a very small number of creeks will form canyons such as these to to a combination of the characteristics of the regional rainfall and rock in the area.

Grand Canyon South Rim The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the most visited location at Grand Canyon National Park. The scenic views and vistas are what you are expecting and have been waiting a lifetime to see. The South Rim is open year around and accessible by all. Attracting over 5 million visitors each year, the South Rim is the most accessible area of the Grand Canyon and provides the most amenities. As with all sides of the Canyon, the South Rim features astounding views of what took Mother Nature millions and millions of years to create. That why it has earned the distinction as one of the world’s Seven Wonders.
