From the rim of the Grand Canyon one looks down on the tops of mountains. The Old Faithful geyser is such a famous attraction that there are permanent bleachers set up around it and huge crowds gather for the hourly show. Huge pieces of gem quality petrified wood litter the ground. These sand dunes derived from the red sandstones of Zion and Bryce, which were themselves formed from ancient dunes. The cold lime-laden waters of Havasu Creek have built these terraces.
Steam vents, hot springs, even geysers, come and go, sometimes unexpectedly.
Intense light and blowing sand called for a special design of picnic table.
