Grand Canyon National Park

The topography of Grand Canyon National Park is defined by dramatic elevations and striking geological features. The park, located in Mohave County, Arizona, encompasses over 278 miles of the Colorado River and its surrounding plateaus. The canyon itself reaches depths of more than a mile (6,000 feet) from rim to river, with varying widths from 175 yards to 18 miles across. This impressive landscape showcases a complex array of geological layers, from ancient Vishnu Schist at the base, to the younger Kaibab Limestone capping the canyon. These formations reveal a deep record of Earth's geological history, with the canyon carved by millions of years of erosion from the Colorado River. The surrounding terrain includes rugged ridges, buttes, and mesas, while the elevations shift dramatically, from the riverbed at about 2,200 feet to the highest point at nearly 8,200 feet on the North Rim. Such variations in elevation foster a diversity of ecosystems, ranging from desert scrub at the lowest levels to forests of pinyon pine and ponderosa pine at higher altitudes.
