Superlatives can't adequately describe the grandeur and majesty of what our eyes behold today, the Grand Canyon. Enroute to this majestic wonder Dr. Meyer leads a discussion of geology and ecology regarding Slate mountain, Red mountain and the Colorado Plateau. After lunch we board park transportation for an 8 mile tour along the west rim to Hermit's Rest with views of the mule trail and thundering rapids of the Colorado River.
