Mr. and Mrs. Soto and their son
Hector are at the Grand Canyon in
Arizona. They are standing behind the
railing and looking at the colorful walls of
the canyon. The Grand Canyon was
carved by the Colorado River many years
ago. It is 277 miles long, 4 to 18 miles
wide, and over a mile deep.
The Sotos want to learn more about
the Grand Canyon. Mr. Soto and Hector want to go on a helicopter tour, but Mrs. Soto is
afraid of flying. She wants to take a bus tour around the canyon. The Soto family can’t
afford both tours. What should they do?
