2010 Grand Canyon Quarter
2010 Grand Canyon National Park Quater, Obverse - Click to Enlarge Featuring probably the best internationally known national park of the United States is the 2010 Grand Canyon National Park Quarter. Located in Arizona, the park is home to the vast canyon which at times reaches a width of up to 18 miles with a depth of over a mile. The walls of the canyon were cut over thousands of years by the erosive effects of the Colorado River which winds its way at the bottom of the natural wonder. The area became a national park in 1919 after having first been designated a federal game preserve and then a monument. As the fourth quarter in the series to be issued for the year, expectations are that it will appear in the fall of 2010.
