Now playing: A preview of Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets

The Film: Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets

At the Grand Canyon, the giant-screen theater at the National Geographic Visitor Center shows the giant-screen movie Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets hourly, 365 days a year. Viewed by nearly 40 million people since its debut 20 years ago, Grand Canyon is the highest-grossing giant-screen film of all time.

Soar from the sky-high canyon rim to the twisting depths of the canyon, courtesy of our six-story-high screen. Meet the mysterious Anasazi people, who inhabited the canyon 4,000 years ago, and brave the raging Colorado River with daredevil explorer John Wesley Powell in 1869.
