When did John Wesley discover the Grand Canyon?
John Wesley did not discover the Grand Canyon. You are thinking of Maj. John Wesley Powell, who made the first journey down the Colorado River through the canyon with nine men, 24 May-30 August 1869. However, the earliest reference is Pedro de Castañeda's account of a small group of Spanish explorers who found it after hearing stories of a large canyon during a visit to the Hopis in 1540. The canyon was little known until Lt. Joseph C. Ives and Dr. J. S. Newberry visited its lower end in April 1858 and brought back the first geological description of the region.
Why is the Grand Canyon special?

What is the direction from Grand Canyon Village to Grand Canyon Lodge?
The simple answer is North.Grand Canyon Village is home to several lodges inside the National Park on the South Rim. Grand Canyon Lodge is also located inside Grand Canyon National Park, but along the North Rim. Grand Canyon Lodge is closing for the winter and will open again in March. Though there are only a dozen or so miles separating the two locations, there is no easy way to get from one to the other. Hiking from the South Rim to the bottom of the Canyon and back up to North Rim is a very exhausting and difficult exercise for anyone unprepared. The only other way for a person to get to the North Rim from the South is by car, either shuttle or private, about a 5 hour drive.

What causes the echo in the Grand Canyon?
lots of space . Here are the conditions necessary for an echo: 1. Sound must travel at least 75 meters 2. The sound must be able to bounce back. It must hit a flat smooth surface somewhere.3. All other sounds must be absorbed or there must be very few other sounds4. There must be amplification of the sound, by having more than one smoothsurface to bounce it back to you.1. The Grand Canyon is 4-18 miles wide in various places. 2. The sound bounces off the walls and from one to the other. 3. It is very quiet in the Grand Canyon. 4. There are walls on every side. Hence, the Grand Canyon is a good place to hear echoes.
Do people live by the Grand Canyon?
IN the Grand Canyon? Yes. I know of the concessionaire that runs food and hotel operations in the park has 16 full-time, live-in employees at Phantom Ranch. A small collection of cabins for tourists to stay at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Park Service has rangers in various stations and water pump monitoring stations as all water at the Sout Rim of the Grand Canyon is pumped up from the bottom via pipeline. I do not know a total count, but there are at least two dozen people who live at the bottom of the canyon. AT the Grand Canyon, in the park itself, there are about 4,800 full-time residents. Concession employees (hotel staff, restaurant staff, transportation crew and gift shop employees), as well as NPS (National Park Service) employees, U.S. postal workers (yes, there in a post office in the million acre national park), local food-supply store emplyees, bank employees and a few government houses play host to the year-round residents. I have lived and worked there for seven years and plan on moving back. It is a one-of-a-kind experience and so very unique. I loved every minute of it.
