When a river runs over rock for many, many years, it sometimes cuts deeper and deeper into the rock until the sides of the river become very high and the river is far below. When this happens, a canyon is made.
The Grand Canyon is a very big and beautiful canyon in America. It is in the state of Arizona. People sometimes ride down to the bottom of the canyon on donkeys.
