Grand Canyon

This canyon was carved by the Colorado River. This canyon is home to 167 species of fungi, 64 species of moss, and 195 species of lichen. The large variety of species is largely due to the 8,000 foot change in elevation. The Lower Sonoran, which spans from the river up to 3,500 feet, give homes to Willows, arrowweed, and catclaw acacia. The canyon tree frog, red spotted toad and Woodhouse's Rocky Mountain toad are the three most common amphibians. Bobcats, Gray foxes and more can be found here.
