Why is the grand canyon national park a source of national pride for the people US?

∙ 10y ago
The people of the United States intentionally decided to forbid major development around this natural wonder, even though such development would have been logistically easy and economically useful to SOME. Compare this with what happened to Niagara falls, where a Ripley's Museum exists less than half a kilometer from the overlooks.
This setting aside of certain natural wonders for permanent protection from destruction by commercial interests, as well as relatively inexpensive access for all, has been called, "America's best idea."
