One of the common theory's is that the Colorado River carved the
Grand Canyon, yet this is not a fact. There are other theory's how
the Grand Canyon was formed. One Theory suggests that there was
three great lakes in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and partly in
Colorado. The Kiabab Uplift created a natural dam. The Kiabab
Uplift eventually breached and formed the Grand Canyon in a matter
of a short time.
Both theory's have holes in them.
