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?

Yes, I have. Pop and I rode motorcycles to the South ridge last May. 

Thanks, Teddy.
