The creation of the Grand Canyon is largely attributed to the erosive power of the Colorado River. Over millions of years, the river carved through layers of rock, resulting in the dramatic and intricate landscape we see today. The Grand Canyon showcases millions of years of geological history, with its stunning colors and formations. It spans approximately 277 miles long and reaches depths of over a mile. This natural wonder is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts millions of visitors each year for its breathtaking views and recreational opportunities.
