The Colorado Plateau, through which the Grand Canyon cuts. was once a seabed.The plateau was raised through plate tectonic action so that the rims of the grand canyon are now between 7,000 and 8,000 feet above sea level. Through erosion from the Colorado River and other factors, the canyon has been cut as deep as one mile in places. The canyon can be viewed from both the north and south rims. This is a view from Hopi Point on the south rim of the canyon.

The painted Desert was named in 1540 by Francesco Vazquez de Coronado. These badlands in the Four Corners area are approximately 120 miles long and 60 miles wide, extending from the east end of the Grand Canyon National Park southeast to the Petrified Forest National Park and north to the Navajo Nation. It is made up of easily erodable rock which allows the different layers of deposits to be exposed,
