Description
Strolling along the south Rim of the Grand Canyon gives one a perspective not obtainable elsewhere.
The Grand Canyon in the Colorado Plateau exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata is one of the 19 distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. While the Canyon is known for its visually overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape, the deepest canyon in the world is the Kali Gandaki Gorge in Nepal. Geologically the Grand Canyon is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that is beautifully preserved and exposed in its walls. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
