Crossing America Went to Grand Canyon National Park!
Students joined Ranger friends from the National Park Service, led by Ranger RisingBuffalo, to explore the wonders of the canyon.
Together, we journeyed through one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. We uncovered how the Colorado River carved the canyon over millions of years, explored the layers of rock that tell Earth’s story, and discovered how people—past and present—have lived and found meaning here. We took a virtual hike along the rim and learned why the Grand Canyon is more than just a beautiful view—it’s a living classroom of geology, culture, and conservation.
Students were given a special mission from Ranger RisingBuffalo:
Design a way for all people to safely and respectfully experience this one spot—without harming the land and while honoring the people connected to it.
We were so glad to share this incredible virtual adventure with students across the country!
