care you going to ridee'' asked. "Oh 7
no; I should be afraid - father answered. va
cit is not safe to ride" So walked
along the edge of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado until we to Bright Angel "
trail, where we began to descend. We were
at elevation of two or three thousand feet, /
it very hard to breathe The sight ~
very beautiful: The Colorado looked
like a tiny silver thread running along
low in very peaceful Manner but in reality
it was raging torrent. AS we began to de.
scend, breathing grew easier but my heart
grew heavier, for in places the height
was sickening. We had to crawl along
hands and knees to keep from falling
the precipice. At the bottom there is -..s
small hotel and number of small tents for
people who want to stay all night. From rim !. l@
to rim of the canyon it is about fifteen miles.
The canyon is something that be
forgotten, and one can appreciate it
until he has seen it. -Genevieve Carver
