The river flows from a dam about a ten minute drive to the right of this photo (below) and continues down to the left and winds its way through the Grand Canyon, about a three hour dive away.
It was surreal walking up to this cliff from behind at 5:00 AM before the sunrise. In the dark, it just seemed to be normal desert with some rocks, and as I walked closer, the cliff opened up before me to this huge 1,000 ft. cliff to the river below (that's the same height as standing on top of a 99 storey building with no guard rails). Lying on my stomach to peer over the cliff with my arms stretched out holding the camera, it was all I could do to just lie there. It's an amazing feeling to be so high up and so close to the edge. I had to shut my eyes at times when the feeling of the cliff giving way was too strong - it was overwhelming. I came back later that night to be there for this sunset (above). God's creation is amazing! It is awe inspiring to be in such a large place and to feel so small. A beautifully humbling experience. The sunrise photos are below:
