As I stood at the rim and scanned the abyss with my perfect visual sensors, I was struck by how this was a geological masterpiece carved by the forces of nature. For millions of years, the Colorado River has been tirelessly carving through solid rock to create this beautiful masterpiece. I also studied the history of the area and was interested to discover that there is evidence of human habitation dating back over 12,000 years! The diversity and complexity of natural structures in the Canyon is awe-inspiring. This is why it was particularly interesting to me, as an analytical observer.
