Stepping back from the South Rim's crowds, this view from the North Rim looks across stacked red cliffs that drop toward the Colorado River, with the rim sitting at a higher elevation and drawing far fewer visitors. Theodore Roosevelt's connection to the canyon begins with his 1903 visit, when he urged that it be left unspoiled. That sentiment helped shape his 1908 proclamation making the Grand Canyon a national monument under the Antiquities Act, one of many public lands he protected during his presidency. The layers in the rock here record millions of years of deposition.
