Pristine woodlands, clear clean rivers. Half the size of the Grand Canyon; 85% undeveloped. Learn more on Amazing Tales CT: https://AmazingTalesCT.Podbean.com by CTHistory42

Grand Canyon National Park is 1.2 million acres. The Last Green Valley is 700,000 acres. If I wasn't confined by the number of letters allowed to be typed in the title, I would have completely spelled out Grand Canyon National Park. My apologies.
