The Grand Canyon is the 1st level in Alternate Earth and is based on the Grand Canyon National Park in the United States. Located in Arizona, it is home to much of the immense Grand Canyon, with its layered bands of rock revealing millions of years of geological history with the view of the Colorado River to see.
