Summary:
"No matter who you are or where you are from, you cannot help but be impacted by Grand Canyon and have a story to tell as a result. This immense gorge is as intensely rooted in our culture as it is deeply carved into the history of the Earth. It has played a significant role in the lives of millions of people--whether they tried to profit from it, study it, live in it, protect it, been inspired to create art because of it, or made a life-changing trip to it. These diverse relationships between people and nature at Grand Canyon reflect America's history and values. Throughout this magazine you will see stories from just a small percentage of the incredible people whose lives are woven into the fabric of the park's history. You will also read about the important work the park is doing using research and stewardship to contribute to our understanding of Grand Canyon's various facets"--Page 1.
