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.
