The canyon is a spectacular example of arid-land erosion. It is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and over a mile deep

The canyon's walls are made of colourful rock formations, including pinnacles and sheer cliffs

The Colorado River flows through the canyon, carrying half a million tons of silt each day

Small side canyons have waterfalls and pools of turquoise water

It is one of America's favourite national parks and a popular destination for hiking, rafting, climbing and canyoneering
