How would you feel if you were at the Grand Canyon?
I don't exactly know what it feels like to be standing in the grand canyon, but I have flown over the grand canyon in a plane tour. Although the experience is very different than standing down at the ground, the grand canyon was still incredible. Being on a plane also gave me a better view, the whole tour I wondered how it was possible a river could have cut through these vast rocks and left such a giant crack on the ground.
What helped crate the Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon was created mostly by water erosion over millions of years as a river carved out the relatively soft limestone and other soft rock material in the area. Wind erosion played a lesser, but important part. Once the flowing water dug the canyon, the wind gave the canyon its more gnarly look. The erosion continued after the water subsided in these areas, giving the Grand Canyon its present look.

Why is the nickname Grand Canyon State used for Arizona?
When the federal government first proposed designating the Grand Canyon for protection from those who would destroy its beauty, the people of Arizona were appalled at the idea of such government interference. Fortunately, the US government fulfilled its responsibility and gave Arizona a natural wonder that no business person could destroy for profit. Arizonans are now so proud of the Canyon that federal officials alone were able to protect, that they have chosen to identify their state with this unique piece of unsurpassed natural beauty. Fortunately for the present day citizens of Arizona, the earlier citizens of that state were ignored.
