A ribbon of water spills down a cliff in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

The canyon’s rock strata, laid bare over the past six million years by the rushing Colorado River, details nearly two billion years of North America’s geologic history. At 277 miles (446 kilometers) long, 18 miles (29 kilometers) across at its widest, and 6,000 feet (1,829 meters) down at its deepest, it is one of Earth’s largest canyon systems.

Weird Canyon


Initially it is quite hard to comprehend, what do you think?

What a beautiful photo. I really like that it is in black and white. I have been to the Grand Canyon many times and it is very beautiful in person
