Geology
Grand Canyon country exposes a succession of sandstone, shale, and limestone, with older rocks deeper in the landscape. Differences in resistance to erosion help shape the cliffs, ledges, and recesses of its side canyons.
Hazards
Flooding, changing water levels, loose rock, and exposure can alter a canyon trip considerably. Check weather across the drainage, access requirements, and the conditions of the intended route. Any technical descent needs its own verified rope, anchor, and exit plan.
