[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4161327, member: 7900"] The Grand Canyon National Park begins near Lee's Ferry, AZ with the Colorado River then flowing through Marble Canyon (300 foot walls) and then on down to the wide expanse of the Grand Canyon itself. Then the Colorado River flows out through canyon walls that are 3000 feet high. Toroweap Overlook is the site of this picture within that latter canyon. This image is looking downriver from the Overlook area. That section of black rock is actually a former lava flow from a nearby cinder cone called "Vulcan's Throne." The rapids seen in the picture are a result of lava, and those are considered one of the most difficult rapids to navigate.
