English: Trail of Time Grand Opening, Wednesday, October 13, 2:30 p.m.The dedication and the ribbon cutting for the world's largest geology exhibit took place at 2:30 p.m., and was followed by an informal guided walk along the trail from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.The Trail of Time is an interpretive walking trail that focuses on Grand Canyon's vistas and rocks, encouraging visitors to ponder, explore, and understand the magnitude of geologic time and the stories told by canyon's rock layers and landscapes. Walking the trail is intended to give park visitors a visceral appreciation for the magnitude of geologic time.This 4.56 km (2.83 mile) long trail is actually a geologic timeline. Each meter on the trail signifies one million years of Grand Canyon's geologic history; and bronze markers mark one meter intervals. Every tenth marker is labeled in millions of years.For more information: http://tot.unm.edu/
