though it possesses the same
neatness and accommodation to
the way-worn traveller.
The canyon is more than two
thousand miles in length, over a
dozen miles to the extreme rim
and more than . mile in depth.
This, however, does not describe
the canyon, they are mere facts.
No words of tongue or pen could
describe the scene before US any
more than they could that OF the
sea when it rolls in a deliehtful
unity of brilliant green and blue,
The heart is more affected by this
beauty and grandeur than Is the
brain. We are told that ancient
tribes came to the rim and in a
lew moments with no sense OF
awe or wonder passed on, also
that this section OF country has
been twice inundated.
The greatest beauties OF this
giant chasm are the ever chang.
ing hues as the sun pours forth
his rays upon these wonderful
rough hevn walls which have
been standing for centuries. As
the sun makes his ascension
through the heavens, new shad-
ows create soft blendings hith-
erto unnoticed, One might re.
main stationary for hours and the
scene would not tire except as
splendor can tire.
As we stand thus, gazing at
these wonderful works Of nature.
the stiffness is broken by the
voice OF the porter, telling US
that in a short time burrows will
be at the hotel to carry the tour
lists down Bright Angel Trail.
This Is . winding path that leads
TO the bottom Of the canyon where
the Colorado river is making its
way 70 the sea.
Three and a half miles down
the trail, we find the haIf-wav
house or Indian tents, which aids
the tourist in more ways than
one. Here he may have a lunch
and rest; then either to return or
pass on to the rivers brink or
plateau where he may stop long
enough for a drink of cool sprinS
water and a few minutes rest be.
fore going down to the rivers
edge.
