President Benjamin Harrison first granted federal protection to the Grand Canyon in 1893 as a forest reserve. ... Roosevelt, an avid hunter, wanted to keep the area pristine for future generations so he declared portions of the Grand Canyon a federal game reserve. The area later became a National Monument.
Grand Canyon National Park received about 44,000 visitors when it first opened in 1919. Today, roughly five million people from all over the globe visit the Grand Canyon each year.
One recent addition is the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a cantilevered walkway with a glass floor that hangs over a western section of the canyon. The controversial attraction—opponents say it disturbs sacred grounds and is obtrusive in an otherwise pristine area—opened in 2007 and is owned by the Hualapai Tribe.
