Europe's "Grand Canyon"? The Grand Canyon Is in Arizona, USA

There is no "Europe Grand Canyon." The Grand Canyon is in Arizona, United States—a 446 km (277 mi) long, up to 29 km (18 mi) wide, and 1.8 km (6,000 ft) deep gorge carved by the Colorado River.

Europe has spectacular canyons—Verdon Gorge (France), Tara Canyon (Montenegro), Vikos Gorge (Greece), El Tajo (Spain)—but none match the Grand Canyon's scale. The misconception may stem from travel marketing or confusion with "Grand Canyon of Europe" nicknames applied to various gorges.

If you seek a European canyon experience, Verdon Gorge (Provence) offers turquoise water, limestone cliffs, and rock climbing; Tara Canyon (Durmitor NP) is Europe's deepest at 1,300 m.
