This one should be fairly easy.
In the US.
It is called the Grand Canyon of the East.
Where is it and the name?
Closest 2 cities?
What River flows through it?
Into what body of water does the river empty into?
The only "canyon" in the east that I can think of is Ausable Chasm in New York (I think it's a stretch to call it a canyon :s ), a popular stop for Quebecers on route for a day of fun at Plattsburg beach on Lake Champlain.
Closest two cities: Dunno, Plattsurg is probably one; can't think of the other.
River: No idea; I'll guess the Ausable River :D
I believe it empties into Lake Champlain.
Sorry No.
Right state though.
Figured it was a stretch... :mark:
Dunno, I'm stumped.
Not the Hudson River is it?
Nope.
I expect some of our American cousins will get this one or Mark from Oshawa when he gets back from his journeys.
I have been there and it is pretty spectacular but surprisingly not well known.
Letchworth. Just east of Buffalo. Not sure on the river but likely the Genesee and it flows north into Lake Ontario.

You got it Mark. I expected you would. I don't know where our 'New Yawkers' were. It is about 60 miles from both Buffalo and Rochester. 3 good sized waterfalls at North end and a large Dam at the South. It is a State Park and quite spectacular. About 17 miles long. If I remember correctly the Canyon is 700 feet deep at one point. Not all that far from Watkins Glen.
Yes, the State Park at the Glen is worth a hike.
We drove the original Glen Circuit. Does take some finding in places. Stone Bridge is something. Must have been a thrill in those 40's & 50's cars along with the 2 level crossings. I remember that they had to time the races between trains.
