The largest gorge of the world is Grand Canyon of the Colorado River having 290 miles long deep slash across the face of the Plateau in northern Arizona. It measures 18 miles across, average width is 10 miles and average depth is one mile. This massive gorge with rock Rise Mountains higher than any in the eastern United States and those dark walls of gorges millions of years old. The interesting thing about this scene is that the Colorado River drops 2,200 feet over nearly 200 rapids as it roars through the Canyon toward the Gulf of California.
The numbers and statistics can only describe limited part of Canyon’s story that can’t display its full picture and magic of its myriad hues strata, spires, and gorges. The place is having so much variation that no one can measure or make a guess about its particular part.
In 1869 John Wesley Powel’s party was the 1st one to traverse the canyon by river, he written that you cannot see the Grand Canyon in one view because it’s an unchangeable spectacle from which a curtain might be lifted.
A mile below the rim at the canyon’s bottom the Colorado River slices through Granite Gorge, exposing some of the oldest rocks visible anywhere on the earth. Those rocks are nearly 2 billion years old; the Vishnu schist is the gleaming black remnant of a once towering mountain range. It became colorful sediments of the Grand Canyon Series atop schist because of rifting faulting which kept on changing it from almost 500 million years.
