Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. West from the foot of Toroweap.
USGS Earth Science Photographic Archive digital files: hjk00897 and hjk0897a

This view is looking downstream from the southern end of the Toroweap overlook area. The slope in the foreground is partially covered with lava flows from the Vulcans Throne volcanic area that poured into the canyon. Further downstream another 20 miles, the canyon re-enters another granite gorge.
