Spanning over 56,000 acres, it is second only to the Grand Canyon in size within the state.
The canyon hosts a range of environments from desert scrub to lush riparian zones, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life.
The area is home to rock art created by the Sinagua people, who inhabited the region over 800 years ago.
The canyon features striking red rock formations, similar to those found in nearby Sedona, formed by millions of years of erosion.
This status helps preserve its natural beauty and restricts motorized vehicles, ensuring a pristine environment for hikers and wildlife.
The river has carved the canyon over millennia, creating its dramatic landscapes and supporting its ecosystems.
