Grand Canon - No writer of worth has ever seriously attempted to descibe the Grand Canon; no artist has ever adequately portrayed it.
None ever will.
For while it is the most compelling single area on the earth's surface, it is not a landscape.
~ Frank Waters, The Colorado
Night and day the river flows. If time is the mind of space, the Colorado is the soul of the desert. Brave boatmen come, they go, they die,
the voyage flows on forever. We are all canyoneers.
~ Edward Abbey, The Hidden Canyon: A Journal
