THE GRAND CANYON

THE GRAND CANYON

The Grand Canyon is in Arizona and it is layers of rocks on top of one another. Something like building blocks.

I have seen the Grand Canyon twice in my life. Once with my Grandparents and other time with my own brothers and parents. This is really a sight to see and it is hard to describe. It think it is really neat. But, I can tell you that it is very windy up there and you do not want to stand close to the edge of the rock. Because, from the force of the wind can blow you right over. And some of the Canyons have an immediate drop off. I would suggest to everyone that if they have a chance to go and see the Grand Canyon.

Folklore has it that the Canyon was where the dinosaurs had lived. Other sources say that the Canyon was caused by water erosion.

The largest Canyon is called (Kanab Canyon). This canyon is 144 miles long and runs through the other Canyon. And is, below Lee’s Ferry, Arizona along with Grand Canyon Village. This a creation of (GODS) handy work. This goes all the way up to the Colorado Plateau as it creates a beautiful scenery, as this goes to the Shiva Mesa which has steep rock wall with a 300 acreage long. The top of this is very steep and is about 1,000 feet down to the desert.

Some scientists are saying that the Grand Canyon is not a million years old. And they say that this place was made of water erosion.
