Grand Canyon

Due to uranium demand shortly before The War, the U.S. government removed the Grand Canyon's status as a national park and allowed private mining companies to exploit its supply of uranium. The resulting mess was an environmental disaster. As a result, the Canyon has become one of the deadliest places in the wasteland, home to hideous mutants seen nowhere else. Sane people avoid it.

The player was supposed to enter the canyon to locate the remains of the second B.O.M.B. orbital station. On the way, he'd encounter a handful of characters, including scavengers and Victor Presper's soldiers.

Given Grand Canyon's size, transportation over to the other side is difficult. As such, before the war, a sky tram was constructed allowing safe passage over to the other side. However, after the war, most of the mechanism was scavenged - the player would then have the opportunity to locate the lost machinery (irreplaceable after the war) and restore the tram to full functionality.

Appearances in games
The Grand Canyon did not appear nor was mentioned (except for a small remark by Harold in Fallout 2) in any of the published games, but was to appear in the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle codenamed Van Buren. It is not certain if it will appear in any future Fallout game.
