Grand Canyon, UNITED STATES: View of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, 05 April 2007. The Canyon, created by the Colorado River cutting a channel over millions of years, is about 277 miles long (445.7kms), ranges in width from 0.25 to 15 miles (0.4-24kms), and attains a depth of more than a mile (more than 1.6kms). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut through layer after layer of sediment as the Colorado Plateaus have uplifted.
