The oldest rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is indeed the Vishnu Schist, however the first answer given is wrong about the age. It is 2 BILLION years old. The canyon itself is believed to have been formed over the past 5 or 6 million years by erosion of much older rocks that range in age from 250 million years at the top of the canyon to the 2 billion year old rock at the bottom.

Think of the Grand Canyon under water.   Huge rips in the ocean floor that are very very deep and dark and dangerous - possibly filled with the most unusual lifeforms never seen by man.

I have 2 passions, History and Geography and I have found that one enhances the other.\n\nI've been lucky to visit ancient sites where some kind of incident happened and was recorded in a book or a poem or an official correspondence.  What I have found, when I first read about the incident, is that I have an idea of how it happened... but when I actually visited the site, I could suddenly understand why things happened the way they did.\n\nIt's a real eye opener, especially when the geography of the area is a major part of the incident.\n\nBesides this, a knowledge of geography comes in handy for everyday things... how many people do you know who don't know which ocean borders the U.S. on the East and West Coasts? Or, which river is longer... the Mississippi or the Amazon.? etc.\n\nGet a good grounding in History and Geography and you will never be sorry you spent the effort.

the Grail is not the important thing but the quest is what is important. the journey one takes is one of self - discovery gaining wisdom and knowledge as well as a deeper reverence for ones Religious convictions. at least this was what I related to on my journey of discovery to become a Sir Knight.

Grand Haven State Park is nice.  Or if you want a little more rustic, come to the UP.  Many nice campgrounds across the UP and we can always use the money.......

to brandijo-ALL of it was under water.  That's how limestone, sandstone, and shale form.  Once the layers of rock were there water eroded them on a large scale to form the canyon.  The top layer at grand canyon is called Kaibab limestone and it is about 200 million years old.\n\nAs for strange things about grand canyon...In the canyon use to live a native american tribe called the Anazi(sp?).  They disappeared and no one knows where or why they went.  Their cliff dwellings have been explored and it's like one day they just up and left and didn't bother to pack like they were coming back someday.\n\nAnother strange incident is the story of a newlywed couple that disappeared on their honeymoon.  I can't remember their names or the details, but there is quite a bit about it in the book "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon"  Really great book.

I'm pretty big on species protection, but that being said, I don't really have a problem with the regional lifting of protected status. The ultimate goal of listing a species as threatened or endangered is to protect and manage the population so that it can recover to a point where it is viable enough to be de-listed. No?  Grizzlies are also a species that have political significance, because they are big, potentially dangerous, require large territories, and will wander into residential areas and/or begin to kill livestock if their population gets too large. Around Yellowstone this is beginning to happen, and people are starting to get angry. In order to keep the public from becoming anti-grizzly to a point where it affects the recovery effort elsewhere, grizzlies are going to have to be carefully controlled in areas where the population is healthy. However unfortunate for individual bears, population control is a necessary evil.  As for the comment about poaching: Poaching is illegal whether the bears are protected or not, and people who are going to poach bears will do it regardless of whether the bears are protected.

The National Parks can be saved only if we prioritize the need. Environmental concerns are typically ranked low when it comes to funding. Having worked first-hand in a National Conservation Area I've seen up close the plight these wondrous places face. As individuals we all need to do our part to saving these landmarks. Who among us does not enjoy the peace, serenity and awe that they inspire?

Learn about culture is important because it allows you to appreciate fine arts and other peoples lifes better. It makes your experience of life richer.  Is like going to eat to a fine restaurant or eat at McDonlads forever.  Museums and art galleries are important because culture can be learned through books but there comes a point where it is not enough to read about something.  You have to actually be present there to understand in all its glory what a masterpiece is.  Why do you think so many people pay 50 euros (and that is just the price tickett to enter the Louvre) to see the Monalisa?
