Text Appearing Before Image:
he wanderer upon the rim overlooks a thousand squaremiles of pyramids and minarets carved from the painted depths. Many milesaway and more than a mile below the level of his feet he sees a tiny silverthread which he knows is the giant Colorado. He is numbed by the spectacle. At first he can not comprehend it. Thereis no measure, nothing which the eye can grasp, the mind fathom. It may be hours before he can even slightly adjust himself to the titanicspectacle, before it ceases to be utter chaos; and not until then does he beginto exclaim in rapture. And he never wholly adjusts himself, for with dawning appreciation comesgrowing wonder. Comprehension lies always just beyond his reach. The Colorado River is formed by the confluence of the Grand and theGreen Rivers. Together they gather the waters of three hundred thousandsquare miles. Their many canyons reach this magnificent climax in northernArizona. The Grand Canyon is a national monument administered by theDepartment of Agriculture.
