We happened to drive through on an overcast day
when it actually rained for a short time. A rare occasion in the
desert. It was hard to see the formations, so I guess we'll need to
go back.
With
a little "Photoshop magic" I can make it look a bit brighter than it was.
The scale of these formations is the truly amazing
thing. When taking pictures it is a good idea to include a person.
It's the only way you can get the perspective.
It looks like any of a dozen John Ford Western
films. It probably always will, with the landscape never changing.
No chance of a sub-division popping up here any time
soon.
The
only way across the Grand Canyon is to drive across the Navajo Bridge.
Actually there are two bridges. One was built in the 1920's and
needed replacement in 1994. Instead of destroying the original, they
left it as a foot bridge and built the new bridge with the same style as
the original
The
scale of this area of the country is the amazing thing. Everyone
says that the Grand Canyon must be seen to be experienced. It is
true, but along the way you must see all of the other parts of geology
related to it. Click on the image at the right. Note the tiny
white speck in the lower right corner of the picture. That is a small
boat, maybe 10-15 feet long.
