The Colorado river changed and formed the structure of the Grand Canyon. Also when the Colorado River began to cut a channel through layers of rock.

Answer:

The Canyon itself was carved by the Colorado River and the wind that caused the surface of the sedimentary rocks to become exposed and erode over time. The erosion of the Grand Canyon by winds, rains and the amazing strength of the Colorado River created the marvelous views and exposed magnificent caves.
