JUNE 10: Rays of light shine over the Grand Canyon as seen from Yavapai point early June 10, 2009 in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

The project is the biggest trail reconstruction project in the Grand Canyon since the 1960s and the first there to use some of the $10.8 million in economic stimulus money granted by Congress for projects in the park. Some 4.5 million people visit the Grand Canyon each year, making it the most visited destination park in the United States. The six million year old canyon averages 10 miles wide and a mile deep and is considered my many the most spectacular national wonder in America.
