Joaquin Miller thus describes a storm in the Canyon which he witnessed: "The battles of the elements roared far below us and all the time, as far as the eye could reach, the white clouds curled, drifted, drooped, died, then rose again. The thunder at intervals was fearfully impressive. We felt at one time that the temples, towers and battlements of red which burst here and there among the thunder clouds, must be crumbled into dust. The lighnting continually wrote the autograph of God on and through the clouds at our feet, but when the clouds would part, all would be as before."

Looking back from this level the huge towers that border the rim shrink to pigmies, yet less than one-half the decent has been made. Then the final trail begins through the granite towards the river. At the foot of the trail is the river, from which point is seen the Temple of Zoroaster
