Series 5200 The Grand Canyon is not a mere cleft. It is trough, 6,000 to 7,000 feet deep, ten to thirteen miles wide, hundreds of miles long, peopled with hundreds of peaks taller than any mountain east of the Rockies, yet not one of them with such color as no Eastern or European landscape ever knew; even in the alpenglow, and as you sit upon the brink the divine scene shifter gives you a new canyon every hour, with each degree of the sun's course, the great counter-sunk mountains you have been watching fade away and new ones, as terrific, are carved by the westering shadows. - 5200. |
