The canyon, created by the Colorado River cutting a channel over millions of years, is about 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 0.25 to 15 miles (0.4 to 24 kilometers) and attains a depth of more than a mile (1,600 m). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut through layer after layer of sediment as the Colorado Plateaus have uplifted.

The Gulf of California or wherever the Colorado River empties into the ocean.

You're right. The Colorado River took all material westward, where eventually it ended up in the Pacific Ocean.

Erosion brought it downstream to be deposited elsewhere (mud flats, flood plains) or it went out to sea
