Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a spectacular gorge located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The Yellowstone River carved this canyon over thousands of years, creating a gorge that is 19 miles long and up to 1,200 feet deep. The canyon's walls are composed of rhyolite, a volcanic rock, which gives them vibrant colors of red, pink, yellow, and lavender. The canyon features two major waterfalls: the Upper Falls, with a drop of 114 feet, and the Lower Falls, which plunges 308 feet. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a prominent feature within the park's diverse landscape, which also includes geysers, hot springs, and mountains.12
