Находится на плато Колорадо, штат Аризона, США, на территории национального парка «Гранд-Каньон», а также резерваций индейцев племен навахо, хавасупай и валапай.

Каньон прорезан рекой Колорадо в толще известняков, сланцев и песчаников. Длина каньона — 446 км.

Ширина (на уровне плато) колеблется от 6 до 29 км, на уровне дна — менее километра.

Максимальная глубина — 1857 м.

С 1979 года Большой каньон входит в список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

В пределах каньона наблюдается высотная зональность, хотя границы зон очень размыты.

С высотой изменяется температура, влажность и, соответственно, фауна, почвы и произрастающие на них растения.

В каньоне произрастает ель, жёлтая сосна, пихта.
