Taking advantage of a clause in the Antiquities Act of 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt declared the Grand Canyon a National Monument on January 11, 1908. It would not become a National Park until 1919, after several frustrated attempts designate it one.
Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon?
No! I’d very much like to go there!

Yes, twice! Once when I was 12, and then again this past summer. This time I actually got to raft the Colorado and camp for two day in there.
