Formed as a result of the flow of the Colorado River, the river still flows through it and continues to erode geology along its course. Some parts of the Grand Canyon are 18 miles wide and a mile deep. Imagine you’re standing on a windowsill looking down at a steep rock face about a mile from the river below.
