Image Description
Most people peer over the edge of the Grand Canyon and see only barren rocks.
If you're willing to walk a bit, you will discover many minor canyons with seasonal water and some
with permanent springs. I found this colorful pool, and many others, in Kwagunt Hollow. I won't
say more; get your map out and go find it.
I took this photo on the "rest" day on a Wilderness Volunteers trail maintenance trip.
Several people did a 16 mile hike to get some exercise. Ann stayed in camp to paint
watercolors. I took my camera and set out in search of a good photo. I was so
taken by the beauty of this area that I went back again alone the next year, carrying a heavy tripod, just to get
better photos. Alas, the stream was bone dry and the pools were just dirt. But
that's OK; now I have an excuse to go back again to this wonderful area.
