from South Rim to the Colorado River


The Grand Canyon is a colourful, steep-sided gorge

carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona.

It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park.

The canyon, created by the Colorado River over 6 million years,

is 277 miles ( 446 km ) long,

ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles ( 6.4 to 24 kilometers ),

and attains a depth of more than a mile ( 1.6 km ).

Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history

have been exposed as the Colorado River

and its tributaries cut their channels

through layer after layer of rock

while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.
