Head North about 223 miles.
The Grand Canyon formed over millions of years through the process of erosion by the Colorado River. It is estimated to have taken around 6 million years for the Grand Canyon to reach its current state.

South Rim Grand Canyon is approximately 3989.1 kms from New York. It would take about 1 day and 15 hours to reach New York from South Rim Grand Canyon. What a long time to travel.
Not even close. It goes down less than two kilometers into the continental crust, over thirty kilometers away from the upper reaches of the mantle. The bottom of the ocean is far closer to the mantle.
At no point does it reach that depth. The deepest point is usually listed as 6,000 feet.
It would take 27 hours driving non stop to reach there.
It was the Coronado Expedition in 1540 that is credited with being the first Europeans to view the Grand Canyon. There is no record that Coronado ever visited the Grand Canyon and that is highly unlikely. His search was for gold and his best evidence led him into Kansas and Oklahoma in search of Cibola. He did send expeditions west through Hopi Country to the Grand Canyon. His expedition into Colorado failed to reach Pikes Peak.
Some parts of the Grand Canyon reach depths of over a mile, with the deepest point measuring approximately 6,000 feet, or about 1.1 miles. The canyon itself varies in depth throughout its length, showcasing a dramatic landscape formed over millions of years by erosion from the Colorado River.
A bug jumping can reach heights up to 100 times its body length.
It is 274 miles via the bridge at Page, Arizona and 394 miles via Las Vegas, Nevada (assuming that you are at or near the South Rim at the Grand Canyon Village according to Google Maps. You could of course reach the North Rim with less driving time.
Ans: The Grand Canyon. The first Europeans to reach the Grand Canyon section of the Colorado Plateau were Spaniards under Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, part of Francisco Vazquez de Coronado's quest for the "Seven Cities of Cibola." Cardenas reached the Hopi towns of Arizona, and then the Grand Canyon, in 1540. The next recorded visit there was on 26 June 1776 by Francisco Garces, a missionary.
