FIVE PLACES TO VISIT BEFORE YOU DIE

in Northwest Arizona, USA, is 366 kilometers
long, 29 kilometers wide and 1800 meters
deep. Scientists believe that the canyon is 17
million years old. It is not the deepest or the
longest in the world. However, it is probably
the most beautiful. The rocks change colour
depending on the time of the day, from red
and orange to grey and ochre brown. The best

helicopter. But for a real adventure, you need

Colorado.
