\nLegitimately concerned I might not have seen enough regular canyons to get the context to properly appreciate the Grand Canyon
Like, I’ve seen the Columbia River Gorge, but not on to the Snake River Canyon, and honestly my biggest exposure to that kind of river-eroded landscape is from Pennsylvania and upstate New York, with more rainfall - so more direct erosion, more vegetation both holding soil together and turning rock into soil, broader valleys, freezing-thawing-cracking rendering canyon walls imperceptible behind scree slopes, etc.
