Grand Canyon: From Desert View Point . . .

Dr. Werner Deck.
Desert View Point is the most eastern-point at the South Rim. It is a great vintage point to see where the Colorado River takes its big bend to the west. From the Historic Watchtower, to the east are the majestically beautiful Vermillion Cliffs and Marble Canyon which mark the beginning of the Grand Canyon. To the northwest are the temples of Jupiter, Venus and Apollo. This was taken on a fine Summer morning with a clear blue sky and small volumes of clouds in the distance.
