Brief

"Grand" is an understatement. At its extremes, the Grand Canyon is up to 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide from rim to rim and over 1600 meters (a mile) deep. 

Year_Constructed

 

Description

It was slow in the making. It took the erosive effects of the Colorado River millions of years to carve a deep swath through billion-plus year-old rock layers. 

Description_2

The view is best from the South rim - it has the most breathtaking vantage points. And, unlike the case on the north rim, the sun is over your shoulder, which is best for both sightseeing and for taking photos.
