Photos progress clockwise from the top of the loop and back.


The last three photos form a panorama from right to left, which is roughly south to east.


Briefly parked and taking more colorful photos, panning from left to right this time for a change. Hope you remember what I told you about rock colors on the front page.


Plenty of opportunities to use your new geologic knowledge.


This photo run is bookended by views of the canyon extending to the north. The penultimate photo is deep in the background to the west (left of the road).


To the right (east).


Based on this scenery, I highly recommend this drive to anyone. It's the best canyon scenery east of New Mexico, definitely. The last three photos are a left-to-right panorama facing north.
