Grand Canyon. The second review period.

Lookout tower height of 21 m was designed by architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, as well as the Lookout Studio and several other buildings in the vicinity of the Grand Canyon. Desert View Watchtower was built in 1932. The lower floor is now a gift shop.


Come to the edge, looks, and there ... Colorado!
The same thing without me
Canyon was formed about 10 million years under the influence of Colorado River water, rain and wind.
gorge more than 400 km and its depth reaches 1900 meters!
So this place looks like on Vikimapii
In the shop I saw here a souvenir. It is a trap for dreams - ancient cult object Indians of North America. Shawl of wire suspended above the head of the bed to catch bad dreams and good to miss.
The sun was rapidly sit down and become just hellishly cold. There is more wind.
In general, stay there was somehow no ice, and we hurried to the bus.
I was so numb that she decided to drop by the shop to warm up. There has been poured a hot drink in a thermos. It was a special desert tea (or tea desert). The taste was sour, and I really liked. Drank there, warmed up and bought a jar
In general, Grand Canyon did not impress me. This is a very untwisted position, but I saw more beautiful and spectacular gorge. Before visiting the canyon we were shown a short film about the journey through it. Crazy footage on a giant screen, the passage of Colorado rapids and splashes into the camera - it's something! At that time it was my first visit to the cinema IMAX! my LJ:
