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. |
