Here is a picture of me at the Grand Canyon. It is such a big canyon. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long and 6,000 feet deep. Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed by the Colorado river. Remember those dinosaur bones and petrified wood were 225 million years old? That means that if you peeled back layers of the earth the dinosaurs would be found in the top 10% of the canyon depth. Pretty cool huh?
