Background Information:
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona, and parts of Nevada. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a period of six million years, but research released in 2008 suggests a much longer 17 million year time span. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of more than a mile (1.6 km).

Stunning, Brendan … I love the hint of light on the stepped crags across the way … sooo beautiful!!!!
Brendan Schoon replied
Thank you so much Lois. Not sure if you noticed but you can see two people sitting on the top of a rock. Very dangerous but now you can see the proportions between humans and the canyon. Thanks again for your comment. Much appreciated. Brendan
