The canyon was made by the Colorado River over millions of years. It's about 446 kilometres long, 1.6kilometres deep, and up to 29 kilometres wide. Its red rocks and special shapes bring many visitors every year.
There are different ways to visit the Grand Canyon. Some people walk along the paths at the bottom, and others take a helicopter to see it from above. You can also ride a mule (a kind of animal like a horse) or camp outside at night. But visitors need to protect the place. Throwing trash or breaking the rocks is not allowed.
