The afternoon was spent on a fact-finding mission as we listened to Ranger Sonia's interesting geology talk about the sand dunes turning into Navajo Sandstone 1.4 million years ago.
Straight on to the Zion information movie where we learnt that the small Virgin River which you can see trickling innocently in many of our photo's, is responsible for forming this entire Canyon. The river carries 1 million tonnes of sediment away every year.
Last visit of the day was the shuttle stop at Weeping Rock where we were priviledged to witness two enormously wing-spanned (9ft) Condors circling the top of Angels Landing mountain.
We so enjoyed experiencing the bottom of the Canyon after the wonderment of being on top of Grand Canyon.
Al's version of Canyon "planking".
