The volcanoes are in the Tuweep region of the canyon. The most recent eruptions were about 1,000 years ago.
I got that the Grand Canyon started forming 60-70 million years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, but The Grand Canyon started forming about 1.7 billion years ago. The Grand Canyon of Arizona was formed near 6 million years ago by the Colorado River.
The oldest fossils in the Grand Canyon are found in the layers of sedimentary rock near the bottom of the canyon, dating back around 1.2 billion years ago. These fossils provide insights into early life forms and the geological history of the region.
Kilauea in Hawaii has been erupting continuously since 1983.
Nevis last erupted around 100,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene period. Since then, there have been no recorded eruptions on the island.
It is imposable to know when the first volcano erupted since the have been around for millions of years.
The Grand Canyon has been eroding since its creation and the erosion continues to this day.
The National Parks Service reports that there have been 184,763,635 visits to the Grand Canyon Nat'l Park, since they have controlled it.
The Grand Canyon existed millions of years before the Pyramids of Giza were built. The Pyramids were considered a "tourist" destination at least since the 300s BCE. The Grand Canyon has only been one since about 1885. So take your pick on which site is the "oldest" tourist site.

Yes, the Grand Canyon has been filled with water in the past. The Colorado River carved the canyon over millions of years, and at times in the past, the river has flooded and filled the canyon with water.
According to the NPS, 373 species bird have been seen in the Grand Canyon area.
According to the National Parks Service, there have been 184,763,635 visitations to Grand Canyon NP since 1919. It would be impossible to determine how many of these were multiple visits by the same person (I've been there seven times, for example).
Yes, gold has been found in the Grand Canyon, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when prospectors explored the area for precious metals. While the canyon is more famous for its stunning geological formations and natural beauty, small-scale mining operations did occur. However, much of the canyon is protected, and mining activities have been restricted since the establishment of Grand Canyon National Park in 1919. Today, the focus is primarily on conservation and tourism rather than mining.
