Looking up at the slot that allows access to the
canyon from the rim above. It is steeper, deeper and narrower than
it looks in this photo. |
 |
Parking my carcass in the shade of a large
boulder, I noticed the shady side of the rock was partially covered with
this dense lichen. |
 |
Up close and personal with a symbiotic
community. |
 |
The protrusion is a small nearly level bench
about midway down to the floor of the canyon. |

A hazy shot of the rest of the canyon, it is
about 5 more miles to the Colorado River. This is an access to the
river that is occasionally used by fishermen. |
