Kaibab Plateau. No fault has been found that cuts through the Kaibab Plateau along the Colorado River. Faults in that region tend to run north-to-south, usually perpendicular to the river.
Rivers or streams frequently follow faults, but faults are approximately straight lines. The Colorado River curves frequently in its path through the Grand Canyon, so very little of its path is controlled by faults.
