Kathryn Janeway and her father hiked the north rim of the Grand Canyon when the former was nine years old. He used to refer to it as "Earth's biggest ditch."(VOY: "Imperfection")

In 2377, when Seven of Nine believed she was dying, the Grand Canyon was among the many fascinating places on Earth she wanted to see, but thought she never would. She looked at pictures of it in astrometrics with Captain Janeway, who recalled that her father called it the biggest ditch on Earth. (VOY: "Imperfection")
