Arizona, 2007 Photograph by Michael Nichols A time-lapse photo reveals
a smattering of stars dotting the sky above Grand Canyon National Park
in Arizona.

The landscape that today attracts more than four million tourists was
once home to many indigenous peoples, including the Hisatsinom, or
Anasazi. They and others survived by growing cotton, corn, beans, and
squash along the sandy banks and terraces of the Colorado River some
1,300 years ago.
