Arizona is best known for the Grand Canyon, a major exception to the generally easy-to-cross tablelands of the Colorado Plateau in the northeastern part of the state. The Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon over many millennia. Arizona also has other striking landscapes, including the Painted Desert, mountain ranges, basins, high plateaus, and the Mogollon Rim, a series of giant escarpments that marks more than 200 miles of the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau.
