A view of Colorado River

Over several million years the Colorado River has carved an immense chasm through an arid land - one of the greatest geological features of its kind. The layers of rock exposed in the canyon walls record much of the geologic history of North America. But is the sheer visual impact of the landscape that impresses most people. The world seems larger here with sunrises, sunsets and storms taking on an added dimension to match the landscape.
It's a land to humble the soul.
