Once had the pleasure of seeing the Grand Canyon under six-seven inches of freshly fallen snow. The red of the rocks, the white of the snow, the crystal blue sky. Beautiful...

Scientists need to read the Bible & get to know The Lord & Savior, The Creator! 5-6 million years ago is hogwash!

humbeldywump, Headwaters or watershed gets their start in the tops of hills and mountains. The trees,leaves and other vegetation collect and hold the moisture from the rain

it was not named a national park in 1919. It was named a national monument, later to be designated as a national park in 1930 I believe.

If you believe a river cut that canyon without leaving a major delta of deposited earth at the mouth of the river, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd lie to sell you. this myth is persistently being taught as fact without real scientific evidence.
