The Grand Canyon State

i don't think i knew where the grand canyon was until i saw a license plate that was, like, the grand canyon state. I actually thought i went across to stat bed back of me rom. Ifii think on, oh, there's no, you can't be grandand go in one ay. There's nothing grand about being like, i can't cross into this state. That's not grand. Here's my guess and it's dumb.
