Gradually the clouds lift and travel slowly up the Canyons on the north side, and out like puffs of smoke. Re- gently there was left but thin cloud stretched below the rim like ribbon. It hung for a long time, then frayed out and dis appeared. At times the giant peaks stand up through great white clouds. Again a dark cloud descends on a section of the Canyon completely hiding the peaks. Having dropped it's burden of snow, it lifts and through layer upon layer of mists you see giant red mount aims capped and trimmed with snow. 8S
