The Grand Canyon

nature · Arizona · rivers · giant

A river made it. The Colorado River slowly carved the Grand Canyon over a very long time, cutting deep into the rock.

Super long. The canyon stretches about 277 miles (446 km) long, that's longer than many car road trips!

More than a mile deep. At its deepest, the Grand Canyon goes down over a mile into the earth.

Really wide too. In some places the canyon is up to 18 miles (29 km) wide from one side to the other.

Found in Arizona. This famous natural wonder is located in the state of Arizona in the United States.
