>Grand Canyon as nature than anything else will be a pale knock-off.

I've been to the Grand Canyon as well as other canyons like Palo Duro and similar. However, they all do pale in comparison as a cheap knock-off and none are as grand as The Grand Canyon. If you're into outdoorsy type things, you cannot not be moved by it. It is one thing that is very much appropriately named.

This is not to say that any of the other parks are not worth going, state or federal, but if you're a canyon and The Grand Canyon exists, just know you will only ever at best be second chair.

Is it copper colored or have copper in it? If not, then it's not named as well ;P

But no, I have not been to that canyon.

I wouldn't want to miss either one, personally. Though I would think Copper Canyon would be a much more interesting multi-day hike. They are not substitutes for each other.
