미국 그랜드캐니언 (Grand Canyon)국립공원
미국 서부 애리조나 주, 네바다 주
애리조나주(州) 북부에 있는 거대한 협곡(峽谷)으로 이루어진 곳이다.
협곡 바깥쪽에 당당한 봉우리, 우뚝 솟은 산, 깎아지른 골짜기가 늘어서 있다.
폭은 0.2~29km이고 길이는 약 443km인데,
애리조나 주 북쪽 경계선 근처의 파리아 강 어귀에서 시작하여
네바다 주 경계선 근처의 그랜드위시 절벽까지 이어져 있다.
이곳에서 갈라진 수많은 협곡과 고원지대를 모두 그랜드캐니언이라고 한다.
미국정부는 1919년 이곳을 그랜드캐니언 국립공원으로 지정했다.
그랜드캐니언 국립공원에서 가장 깊은 곳은 파월 호에서 미드 호까지
강을 따라 뻗어 있는 약 90㎞의 협곡이다.
협곡의 전체 빛깔은 붉은빛이지만, 각각의 지층은 독특한 색조를 띠고 있다.
1975년 그랜드캐니언 천연기념물, 마블캐니언 천연기념물, 글렌캐니언
국립휴양지의 일부 등 주변지역을 추가하여 국립공원의 면적은 더 넓어졌다.
