Im Grand-Canyon-Nationalpark liegt der größte Teil des Grand Canyon [grænd ˈkænjən], einer steilen, etwa 450 Kilometer langen Schlucht im Norden des US-Bundesstaats Arizona, die während Jahrmillionen vom Colorado River ins Gestein des Colorado-Plateaus gegraben wurde.

 

Der Canyon zählt zu den großen Naturwundern auf der Erde und wird jedes Jahr von rund fünf Millionen Menschen besucht.
