Grand Canyon Panorama
This 180 degree panorama was taken with five consecutive shots, half an hour prior to sunset, looking north, on 15th February 1997. Panning across the shot, one can see the change in shadows across the various mesas and buttes, and the river can be spotted near either end, when the canyon curves allowing a more vertical cross section view. Yes, I know the joins are visible - I'll have to touch it up with PhotoShop :-)

Colorado river, near Moab, Utah. A few hundred miles before the Colorado river enters the Canyon, it looks like this.

Wall Arch, Arches National Park, Utah

Bright Angel trail is 10 miles from top to bottom. It's not recommended to go to the river and back in a day, although I did. The top of the path was very icy.
|
Colorado river, near Phantom Ranch After 3 hours and 6000 vertical feet of walking, I finally saw the Colorado river once more. Even looking up, it's very difficult to judge the scale of the Canyon.
