Sandara Park: 🌵 The Token Times

Here are 3 Wild Facts About the Grand Canyon

1. The Grand Canyon is so large that it can actually be seen from space -- it's 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and reaches depths of over a mile! It's sooo massive that the entire state of Rhode Island could fit in it...

2. Temperatures vary greatly within the Grand Canyon. From the rim of the canyon to its lowest point, the temperature can change by more than 25 degrees. The depths of the gorge are notoriously hot during the summer, while the North Rim is often below-freezing in winter.

3. No one is completely sure about the age of the Grand Canyon. It was long believed that the Colorado River started carving out the canyon around six million years ago, but recent studies have shown this process may have actually started as early as 70 million years ago!
