It doesn't matter which order you do this.
Just name ns1.granitecanyon.com and ns2.granitecanyon.com with
nic.us.

You do not need to involve Network Solutions at all for geographic
domains. The InterNIC references are somewhat dated, as any registrar
will do for the .COM, .EDU, .NET and .ORG domains. We'd actually
prefer if you use Register.COM because they then donate a fraction of
the fee to us, but that's entirely the registrant's choice.
