Today in history, President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill establishing Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona.
From the Grand Canyon National Park Facebook page:
Today marks the 106th anniversary of Congress establishing Grand Canyon National Park - in order to preserve and protect one of the world's most awe-inspiring natural wonders.
Over the past century, the National Park Service has worked tirelessly to protect the park's resources, to maintain trails and facilities, and to make Grand Canyon accessible to millions of visitors from all around the globe.

It is hard to believe that we've reached 106 years. I bought a commemorative coffee mug for the 100th anniversary.
I have been to the Grand Canyon's South Rim several times and the North Rim in 1972. I was last at Grand Canyon National Park in 2017 and stayed at Trailer Village RV Park at the South Rim.
