The Grand Canyon is a trough 6000 to 7000 feet deep, ten to twenty miles wide, hundreds of miles long, peopled with hundreds of peaks taller than any mountain east of the Rockies, and all ablaze with such color as no Eastern or European landscape ever knew. And as you sit on the brink the Divine Scene-Shifter gives you a new canyon every hour; with each degree of the sun's course the great countersunk mountains fade away and new ones are carved by the westering shadows. The Canyon is not only the hugest but the most varied example on earth of one of the chief factors of earth building -- erosion

The Canyon is formed of seven systems of rocks from river to rim, called by Major Powell as follows: Black gneiss, variegated quartzite, cliff sandstone, alcove sandstone, redwall limestone, banded sandstone and Aubrey limestone. He then adds: "A wall of homogeneous granite like that in Yosemite, is but a naked wall whether 1000 or 5000 feet high; a mountain covered by pure snow 10,000 feet high as but little more effect on the imagination than a mountain of snow 1000 feet high - it is but more of the same thing, but a facade of seven systems of rock has its sublimity multiplied sevenfold."

Hamlin Garland thus describes a storm in the Canyon. "The whole vast chasm was roofed with masses of grey clouds ranked closely and hurrying swiftly, all the distracting lines of the Canyon were lost and the haphazard coloring was made harmonious by deep blue curtains of mist. Here was a new phase of the Canyon. I began to understand it had a thousand differing words. It is like a mountain range, a cloud today, a wall of marble tomorrow. When the light falls into it it is harsh, but the storm will transform it into a splendor no mountain range can surpass. Peaks will shift and glow, walls darken, crags take fire, and gray green mesas take on the gleam of opalescent lakes of mountain water."

If you are skillful you can suggest them to the imagination but that is all. Here even silence seems to have dimension and color

Storm in Grand Canyon

Description:
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 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."

Zoroaster from The River
Grand Canyon National Park Arizona (AZ), Divided Back unused
Description:
When you go down Bright Angel Trail you will gain an abiding sense of the real proportions of the canyon. For the first two miles the decent is sort of a Jacob's Ladder, zigzagging at an unrelenting pitch. At the end of two miles a comparatively gentle slope is reached. On the way are the Indian Gardens. 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

"The whole vast chasm was roofed with masses of grey clouds ranked closely and hurrying swiftly, all the distracting lines of the Canyon were lost and the haphazard coloring was made harmonious by deep blue curtains of mist. Here was a new phase of the Canyon. When the light falls into it, it is harsh, but the storm will transform it into a splendor no mountain range can surpass. Peaks will shift and glow, walls darken, crags take fire, and grey-green mesa take on the gleam of opalescent lakes of mountain water." - Hamiln Garland

Greetings from Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon National Park Arizona (AZ), Linen unused
Description:
The story of the Canyon coming to civilized mman, begins with its discovery in 1540 by Don Garcia Lopez de Cazdenas and twelve companions. Sent out by Coronada via the Hopi villages, they secured guides to direct them as the Hopi had declared to a great river within a deep canyon, by the side of which lived a race of giants. They found the banks so high and rugged that it was impossible to reach the water. They marched serveral days along the rim searching for an opening by which they might descend to the stream but there seemed to be one continuous wall and the river appeared as a silver thread below
