The river running thru it. Over millions of years that river has flooded and changed course many times. It has been cutting thru the rock the entire time.
Do not believe it when someone tells you that the great flood did it. If this were the case, then how do they explain how the fossils in the rock of the grand canyon got there because that is how they explain fossils too. The great flood either cut the canyon or put fossils in the rock but it could not have done both. In any event, geology says that river created the canyon and is still eroding it today.

Erosion by the Colorado River, over some millions of years as the land in the area was gradually uplifed by tectonic forces.
