In September of 1540, Captain Garcia Lopez de Cardenas, exploring at the orders of conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, arrived at the south rim of the Grand Canyon with a small group of Spanish soldiers and their Hopi guides. It would be a couple of hundred years before any other Europeans came to explore.
Note that the Grand Canyon has long been known to Native Americans, and there is clear evidence that they had settled in the area some 10,000 years ago.
