Grand Canyon is a long rally circuit featured in Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo PSP. Dirt Tyres are required to drive the course. Due to its difficulty, it is a hard track to race on, making it unlikely to overtake your opponent during races.
In Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, Grand Canyon has a smaller version of the track, known as Grand Canyon Short Track. It is not available to drive in Arcade mode and can only be accessed through the Driving School. Grand Canyon Short Track isn't connected to the main circuit in any way.

Trivia[]
- All around the course are crowds of spectators lining the road, and on some sections photographers can be seen in the middle in the road taking a picture of the car(s) speeding towards them before they run back into the crowd as the cars drive past. This feature may be inspired by the spectator problems in the 80's in the WRC due to the rising popularity of Group B rallying.
- In the Gran Turismo 4 Toyota Demo, Grand Canyon included a tarmac section, and the start line was positioned further back around hundred meters. It is also worth mentioning that it was possible to drive the Toyota Motor Triathlon Race Car on this version of Grand Canyon, a car usually restricted from driving on dirt roads; the opposite is true for the Toyota PRIUS G Touring Selection (J) '03, which is also featured in the demo.
- The version included on the demo also ends after the jump backstretch section.
- Grand Canyon is also a Photo Travel location in GT4. If cheat codes are used to forcibly load the photo location, it will appear to use the course map of the rally course.
- The Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac Rally Car (except in Gran Turismo Concept, as the track have yet to exist in the series) and Mitsubishi PAJERO Evolution Rally Raid Car '03 carry Grand Canyon rally plates, even in PlayStation 3 era games.
