Best Answer

Both are exceptional places to visit but the Grand Canyon takes the Blue Ribbon in this competition. Depending on how and where it is measured, the Snake River has carved Hells Canyon deeper by 2,000 feet, but at 10 miles in length, it is dwarfed by the 277 miles of the Grand Canyon carved by the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon is easily accessible, has a much greater variety and length of trails and better amenities.
