What are some strange things about the grand canyon?

to brandijo-ALL of it was under water.  That's how limestone, sandstone, and shale form.  Once the layers of rock were there water eroded them on a large scale to form the canyon.  The top layer at grand canyon is called Kaibab limestone and it is about 200 million years old.\n\nAs for strange things about grand canyon...In the canyon use to live a native american tribe called the Anazi(sp?).  They disappeared and no one knows where or why they went.  Their cliff dwellings have been explored and it's like one day they just up and left and didn't bother to pack like they were coming back someday.\n\nAnother strange incident is the story of a newlywed couple that disappeared on their honeymoon.  I can't remember their names or the details, but there is quite a bit about it in the book "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon"  Really great book.

The Grand Canyon is a national monument located in the Southwest region of the United States in Arizona. It has been created by erosion over thousands of years. It contains plateaus, mesas, and buttes, it stretches over 200 miles in northern Arizona. It's canyons reach over a mile in depth, and at its widest point the canyon walls extend over 18 miles wide. The Grand Canyon is located in the Southwest region this region is only made up of four states, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This region has the fewest states than any other region in the U.S. However, these states cover an enormous area-bigger than the eight states of the Northeast. These four states also include a large variety of landforms and environments.

Could be a strange mirage. Sometimes weird mirage can project skyline of cities beyond horizon or just strange shapes in sky when atmosphere refract lights in unusual ways.

The Grand Canyon cuts across the upper northwestern edge of Arizona (just below the border with Utah).  The main portion of the canyon is over 250 miles long and runs from near Lake Powell on east to Lake Mead on the west.\n\nThe most famous portion (and the area with the lodges) is near the middle.  There is a small park service-ran community on the South Rim with numerous lodges and a smaller lodge on the North Rim that is only open in summer.  The North Rim is much higher elevation and thus cooler and gets snow in the winter (it is also much less developed).  \n\nThe closest towns to the South Rim are Flagstaff and Williams, Arizona along I-40 (about 90 miles away).  The nearest town to the North Rim lodge is Kanab, Utah (also about 90 miles).  It is about a 4 hour drive from Phoenix, Arizona to the South Rim and about a 6-7 hour drive from Las Vegas to the North Rim.

If you are talking about the chupacabra (goat sucker), there are those especially of the Latino community who have said they have seen something large hopping across fenced areas leaving dead chickens and goats. The wounds this thing leaves are three punctures generally in the neck area. The animals killed are drained of blood. Is that what you mean?\n\nI have never seen one, myself. I have only read the accounts. I am not quick to disbelieve. Stranger things are out there.

I know that the Cherry Creek Reservoir in Denver, Colorado has sunken ships and airplanes.  You may want to check that out.

Because of fossils that have been found..it has been determined that at some point..the entire Arizona desert surrounding the Grand Canyon was underwater except for a few of its highest platteaus and mountians which would have appeared as islands. So indeed if the water receded quickly then the canyons would have been formed within a matter of days...not millions of years. Same thing wtih the Bad Lands canyon system in Wyoming and the Dakotas. The rock strata even resembles the layered effect of various ocean sediments as they shift and settle over and over to change the underwater landscape every day. Love in Christ, ~J~ <><
