The canyon was little known until Lt. Joseph C. Ives and Dr. J. S. Newberry visited its lower end in April 1858 and brought back the first geological description of the region.

The rock layers exposed on the walls of the Grand Canyon are significantly older than the canyon itself.

Thus, the canyon is much younger than the ancient rocks it reveals.

Though there are only a dozen or so miles separating the two locations, there is no easy way to get from one to the other.
