Description
A breathtaking view of a vast canyon, showcasing towering red rock formations and lush greenery. The sky is dotted with fluffy clouds, enhancing the vivid colors of the landscape.
The easternmost viewpoint on the South Rim Drive is called Spider Rocks. A 1/4 mile path leads to the overlook, which also has a good panorama back towards Face Rock and a V-shaped tributary ravine on the north side.
The surroundings are now quite overgrown, with pinyon pine and juniper, bushes and yucca, quite different to the open, sandy, desert-like conditions around the town of Chinle, since although the wash on the canyon floor remains fairly level, the rim plateau steadily rises; the elevation at Spider Rocks Overlook is nearly 7,000 feet, 1,500 feet higher than the town.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
