Yes it is, but at the park it's about a mile deep and 9 miles wide, whereas the river is mostly less than 100 yards wide. That leaves a lot of landscape between rims, some of which is very impressive.
You can get a real good idea of it in 3 hours looking down from the lookouts on the south rim. You can get a better perspective hiking down part or all the way to the river.
I got a different perspective traveling by boat, from the park to Lake Mead, and hiking up various side canyons.
