Overview
The Grand Canyon stretches roughly 446km long and up to 1.6km deep through Arizona, a natural wonder the Colorado River carved over millions of years. Two billion years of geological history are layered into its walls. The South Rim is the most popular viewpoint, and the canyon glowing red at sunrise and sunset is a once-in-a-lifetime sight. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is among the most visited national parks in the United States.
