Special Features
Some special landforms in the Grand Canyon are the Colorado River and the Colorado Plateau.
It was created about 5-6 million years ago, which is very young. Even though some rocks found date back to around 250 million years ago. It was created because the Colorado River eroded a large amount of rock that is now the Grand Canyon. If we didnt have the Colorado River, we wouldnt have this great national park, called the Grand Canyon.
