Postlog--Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon from the South Rim, the day after our river trip. Across the river is Phantom Ranch in the valley of Bright Angel Creek. It may be that explorer John Wesley Powell named this creek in recompense for having named another one the Dirty Devil. When we were down there several days earlier, the creek was bright red and running high. This was the Grand Canyon eroding, and going down the river. The view here is from one of the overlooks east of the main South Rim village where most tourists go.
