Abstract

This paper explores the idea that a cataclysmic flood may have been responsible for carving the Grand Canyon, challenging the conventional view of slow, gradual erosion over vast periods. It draws parallels between the geological features of the Channeled Scablands in eastern Washington, known to have been formed by a massive Pleistocene flood (the "Bretz Flood"), and the Grand Wash Cliffs and Hualapai Plateau in Arizona. The author, Allen Roy, highlights similarities such as depth indicators, scouring, channel erosion, and flood bars to suggest that a similar, rapid flooding event could have shaped the Grand Canyon. The paper promotes further investigation into the possibility of a recent, large-scale flood as a key factor in the Grand Canyon's formation, contrasting with mainstream geological interpretations.
