Today, February 26, 2019, is the 100th birthday of Grand Canyon National Park. It became a national park on February 26, 1919. To celebrate the park's birthday, here are some pictures from the park. Some historic architecture is included, covering what is relatively urban. I am actually working on a more comprehensive phototour of Grand Canyon Village, which is almost complete.
