Foton av Grand Canyon National Park

Unkar Delta from near the start of Tanner Trail near Lipan Point av Al_HikesAZ

“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera -- and himself.” Daniel J. Boorstin (American social historian and educator, 1914) This is a view of the Unkar Delta and Unkar Rapids to the NNW from near the start of the Tanner Trail near Lipan Point on the eastern part of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park Arizona. 116 degrees at the Colorado River today so I did not hike all the way down. "The Tanner Trail started out as an ancient Anasazi and Hopi route to the Colorado River. Most believe today that Tanner Canyon is where Garcia Lopez de Cardenas became the first European to encounter the Grand Canyon. The trail is named after Seth Tanner, a 19th century prospector who improved the trail so he would have better access to his copper mine. It is also believed that Tanner Canyon was once used as an old horse thief trail. The horse thieves would use the canyon to bring the horses from Arizona into Utah. While in the canyon, the horse thieves would change the brands of the horses, then they would cross the Colorado River and drive the horses out of the canyon through the Nankoweap Trail up onto the North Rim. The canyon was once named Horsethief Canyon in honor of this storied past." Source: Wikipedia
