Grand Canyon 1

"The glories and the beauties of form, color, and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop, from cataract to bubbling fountain."

John Wesley Powell

Grand Canyon 2

"The spectacle is so symmetrical, and so completely excludes the outside world and its accustomed standards, it is with difficulty one can acquire any notion of its immensity."

C.A. Higgins

Grand Canyon 3

"The Grand Canyon is carved deep by the master hand; it is the gulf of silence, widened in the desert; it is all time inscribing the naked rock; it is the book of earth."

Donald Culross Peattie

Grand Canyon 4

"There was in this immensity a silence so profound that soon all the noises from the life around us on the rim were lost in it as if our ears had been captured forever, drowned in these deeps of quiet."

JB Priestly

Grand Canyon 7

"But look again! These terrifying walls are moving, are changing. A new light is not only creeping over them, but is coming out from their very shadows. See these flattened slopes above the dark sandstone on top of granite, even at this very moment they are being colored in gorgeous stripes of horizontal layers of yellow, brown, white, green, purple. What means this wondrous change? Wherein lies the secret of the great canyon?"

Robert B. Stanton

Grand Canyon 8

"To stand upon the edge of this stupendous gorge, as it receives its earliest greeting from the god of day, is to enjoy in a moment compensation for long years of ordinary uneventful life."

John Stoddard
