Spectacular Photos and Video of The Grandest of Canyons

12/14/2014

I've seen Grand Canyon National Park countless times--from the air looking down, from the rim looking across, eight days on the river looking up. But never before have I seen anything like this cloud inversion, and the video captures it well.  As one comment describes, it's like watching the Canyon breathing.

Thanks to Parkwest pilot Dirk Kruse (aka Alpha) in Germany for sending this link!

Where Rivers Converge, Visions for the Grand Canyon's Future Do Not

"The Grand Canyon is the most protected land in the world,” said David Uberuaga, the park superintendent, as he sat in his office at the headquarters, 10 minutes by foot from the canyon’s rim. “It’s a World Heritage Site. We have the protections of the National Park Service Act, the act that created the Grand Canyon, the Clean Water Act.”

“All that body of law, and I still spend most of my time protecting the place, day in and day out,” he said. “Everybody wants to make a buck off the canyon.”

See what new controversies loom in this NYT article for America's crown jewel.
