The Bright Angel Fault

An astounding, extremely old yet at the same time dynamic topographical element seen from the South Rim

National Geographic Documentary, From Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim, looking around ten miles straight from one point to the other crosswise over to its partner on the north side, you can see the monstrous Bright Angel Fault. It's along the base of this deficiency, joined by Bright Angel Creek, that climbers can cover the 24 trail miles from the highest point of the Bright Angel Trail to the highest point of the North Kaibab Trail. (In the event that you take the South Kaibab Trail to the stream rather than the Bright Angel Trail, an edge to edge climb is 21 miles.)

Splendid Angel Fault is still dynamic, creating little seismic tremors you can some of the time feel in case you're in the Canyon.

Fall Colors on the North Rim

No photograph altering necessary....

National Geographic Documentary, Every year around the end of September or start of October, our outside club does an edge to-edge Grand Canyon trek. This previous year, as I was leaving the North Rim, making a beeline for Flagstaff in the wake of finishing my own edge to-edge trek, I took this photograph of shocking Fall hues on the Kaibab Plateau.

The yellow, orange and light green trees are aspen. The darker trees in the back are evergreen Ponderosa pine.
