Where is the Grand Canyon located?

It's in Arizona. Here are a few links about it:\n\nhttp://www.nps.gov/grca\nhttp://local.yahoo.com/?csz=Grand+Canyon%2C+AZ

It depends on what you are looking to find. Big Bend has an olivine granite, which is very rare. The Guadalupe Mountains have the world's largest exposed barrier reef. These are two great geological features in my home state. Almost any national park can claim something unique. Just look at the Grand Canyon with its great sedimentology. The best geology is a relative term.

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.

The oldest rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is indeed the Vishnu Schist, however the first answer given is wrong about the age. It is 2 BILLION years old. The canyon itself is believed to have been formed over the past 5 or 6 million years by erosion of much older rocks that range in age from 250 million years at the top of the canyon to the 2 billion year old rock at the bottom.

The Grand Canyon is 277 mi. long, 15 mi. wide at the wides point, and averages 4,000 ft. deep.

It's all about scale.  If you stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, it is immense because of your frame of reference.  When you see a photograph of Earth from space, the Grand Canyon almost disappears because it is so much smaller compared to other, larger visual objects (like continents).\n\nBesides, the Earth IS relatively smooth.  A freshly polished billiard ball, expanded to the size of our planet, would be 1000 times 'rougher' over it's surface than the Earth is.

Most people would think that experts agree on an explanation for the formation of such a grandiose site as the Grand Canyon. Surprisingly that isn't so. It is an enigma. The latest attempt to figure it out occurred as late as June last year at the Grand Canyon Symposium 2000. The Colorado River is held generally responsible for carving the Canyon. However, even before the Glen Canyon dam stemmed its awesome desert floods, the river seems hopelessly inadequate to have formed such a geological spectacle. The Colorado River flows west from the Rockies and encounters a raised plateau known as the Kaibab Upwarp. Instead of turning away from that barrier it continues through the plateau. How could it do that? The river is much younger than the Kaibab Upwarp so it could not have progressively cut the Canyon even if the land rose very slowly. In any case, most of the material that was removed from the Canyon seems to be missing, according to a report from the symposium, leaving little evidential support for the original theory that a simple progression of water erosion formed the Canyon we see today. Since the 1930's and 1940's, geologists have searched for other explanations -- that the Canyon once drained to the south-east (reversing the route of the present-day Little Colorado, then joining the Rio Grande and into the Gulf of Mexico. When problems arose with that explanation too, it was proposed that it once flowed NE along one of the present-day side tributaries such as Cataract Creek.

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 Colorado River starts in the Rocky Mountains National Park. The river's course follows the Kewuneeche Valley to Shadow Mountain Reservoir then flows into Lake Granby.

Grand Junction is a city located in Mesa County, Colorado, USA. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 41,986. It is the county seat of Mesa CountyGR6. The city is largest population center on the Colorado Western Slope, unofficially serving as the capital of the region. The local television stations serve as a major media source for the region, in the way that those in Denver do for the Colorado Front Range to the east.\n\nThe city located along the north side of Colorado River where it receives the Gunnison River from south. The name "Grand" refers to the historical name of the upper Colorado River used by locals in the late 19th and early 20th century. The city sits near the mid-point of a 30-mile (48 km) arcing valley, known as the Grand Valley, that is a major fruit growing region, historically home to the Ute people and settled by white farmers in the 1880s. In recent years, several wineries have been established in the area as well. The Colorado National Monument, a series of canyons and mesas similar to the Grand Canyon, overlook the city. Interstate 70 connects the city eastward to Glenwood Springs and Denver.

The Colorado River that originates in the Rocky Mountains and flows through the Grand Canyon. The Hoover Dam forms a lake known as Lake Mead that extends upstream as far as the mouth of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River eventually drains into the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) in Mexico. \nhttp://www.desertusa.com/colorado/coloriv/du_coloriv.html\n\nThere are other rivers named the Colorado River, one of which flows through Austin, Texas and empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
