The Colorado River – Time Unknown

This was our first view of the Colorado. You cannot see this from the top.

The thing most people do not realize is how deep the Grand Canyon is. You see if from the Outer Rim and it is huge. If you look far enough you can see the drop off to the Colorado River. What you cannot see is just how big the drop off is.

Once we crossed the flat land at what we thought was the bottom, we were thinking we would be at the bottom soon. Instead, we realized we were only half way there. The drop off was just as deep as the first.

This is when we learned there was an outer gorge and an inner gorge.
