The Grand Canyon's South Rim Starting @ The Visitor's Center

The Visitor's Center at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon has many displays to educate visitors about this unique Natural Wonder.

Eric stands opposite me

at the Circle of 

Grand Canyon Tribes.

This circle lists the Tribes that have called the Gand Canyon Home - The Havasupai, Huavalapi,  Paiute, Navajo, Zuni & Yavapai Apache Tribes.

I took too many pictures.   Here are my favorites...

Trees cling to the steep sides

of the Grand Canyon.

.

I include a plant or a

ledge in the foreground

of my photos in an attempt

to add depth perception

to the massive vistas.

This Squirrel poses

for visitors.

Every vista

is selfie-worthy,

& video-worthy.

My first panoramic shot of the Grand Canyon

I had to include this Yucca

Plant in this photo.

Eric admires the view.

The play of light & shadow

makes every photograph

different.

Juniper Trees cling

to the Canyon Rim.

Visitors offer to take

pictures of others

at the overlooks.

The overlooks were carefully planned and get very busy.

My first glimpse of the

Colorado River.

Look in the lower right

to see the water.

It's brownish, like the rocks that surround it.

Everyone watches their

step on the Rim Trail to

avoid steep drop-offs.

Millions & millions of

years of running water,

wind & rain created 

this multi-layered 

terrain.

As the lighting changes

the colors in the

 Canyon change.

This section of the 

South Rim Trail is

very walkable.

Some of the overlooks require visitors to carefully plan their path on the uneven rock.

Today's visit to the Grand Canyon has been delightful.  Eric and I look forward to taking a Shuttle Bus to visit the rest of the South Rim tomorrow.
