GRAND CANYON

GRAND CANYON

One of seven world wonders

Transcended beauty, our heart plunders

Powerful inspiring landscape location

Overwhelms and thrills our sensations

A great chasm carved by Colorado River

Cutting rocks of Colorado plateau, over thousands of years

An awe inspiring view one mile in depth

Eighteen times in width, two hundred and seventy seven in length

For Archeologists a site thousands of years old

For Geologists, the visible cross section nowhere else on globe

For foresters three different communities

For hydrologists, Colorado River and streams plenty.

Climb eighty five steps of watch tower

An inspiring omnidirectional viewer

Navajo and Lipan points on Southwest thrills

Geological stories of rocks they tell.

Moran point presents Colorado River sight

Grand view point tales of forest fire fright

Watch the red and browns of cliffs from skies

And in contrast to desert sand, blue lakes.

Hualapai Indians, natives of west

Life styles and value of mother Earth best

Hualapai tribe music and dance in traditional style

Watch their footsteps so agile.
