Canyon Sights and Vistas

Approaching overlooks, people look like mere dots, giving some perspective to the giant hole that is the Canyon!  Sometimes as wide as 20 miles, it averages 10 miles across.  

 One of the fist stops was The Kolb Studios, where brothers created a photography business in the canyon in the early 1900's.  Braving the depths and the river, they shot stills and early movies, and ran mule trips from their studio, perched on the side of the canyon.  




We hiked between some of the overlooks, then hopped back on the bus to the next, being 9 in all.
 One could take a million photos and still not capture it. 


 Sometimes along our hike, we were along an edge, and knowing Clem would not pose for this spot, I snapped this couple.




Photo to left was first glimpse of the Colorado River.....tiny beautiful aqua streak on left!
