Superlatives are well-earned in the case of America's best-known natural attraction, Grand Canyon National Park, where scenic vistas, hiking trails and white-water are par for the course.
Coronado National Memorial commemorates the first major European exploration of the American Southwest. The Memorial lies on the United States-Mexico border within sight of the San Pedro River Valley, through which the Coronado Expedition first entered the present U.S. in search of the fabled Seven Cities of Cibola. It is a cultural area situated in a natural setting comprised of 4,750 acres of grasslands and oak woodlands.
