Like Water for Water - the Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado a More Serious, Hardcore, and Reflective Trip Compared to That at Thirty-Two…
Like Water for Water - The Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado A more serious, hardcore, and reflective trip compared to that at thirty-two… Left to Right: (top) views from South Rim, Nankoweap; (middle) Little Colorado, Unkar Delta sunset, 75-mile slot canyon; (bottom) edgy trail to Thunder River/Falls, first epiphany in Kanab Canyon, muddy and wet creek-slogging boots Introduction While traveling through Norway in too much style but with insufficient action this June, I knowingly longed for this trip - albeit with the equally knowing sense that I anticipated I would need to remind myself how much I wanted a more authentic wilderness experience when things - no doubt - became difficult or uncomfortable. Indeed, revisiting the Colorado almost ten years after my first trip was more challenging - although I did intentionally choose a longer and more difficult format trip. Ever since my first rafting trip down the Colorado, I knew I would repeat it; in fact, it remains a personal goal of mine to go down the Colorado at least once during every decade of my life - largely because I do appreciate how humbling the experience is at all levels (i.e. I don't think I would like myself as a person if I found myself unwilling to sustain this kind of serious camping). Given what was some unsatisfying stuff my first time (some of which I mildly alluded to in that report), I knew my second time had to be different. Said first trip, booked with OARS two years in advance, was supposed to have been a longer trip with a stronger hiking emphasis; unfortunately, OARS' permit situation evolved over the course of those two years - to the point that the ultimate, corresponding permit dates OARS received represented only a thirteen-day trip.

Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

Grand Canyon National Park
Nationale Parken van Amerika @ www.ontdek-amerika.nl Last Update : 5 maart 2016 Grand Canyon National Park KORTE OMSCHRIJVING Grootte van het park : 4.927 vierkante kilometer Lengte van de Canyon : 446 kilometer Diepte van de Canyon : maximaal 1.829 meter Breedte van de Canyon : gemiddeld 16 kilometer, maximaal 29 kilometer Nationaal Park sinds : 26 februari 1919 Een van de bekendste Nationale Parken is de Grand Canyon in Arizona. Het wordt beschouwd als een van de zeven wereldwonderen der natuur. Miljoenen jaren geleden werd hier een deel van de aardkorst omhooggedrukt; daardoor ontstond het Colorado Plateau waar de Grand Canyon nu een onderdeel van is. De Colorado River heeft zich gedurende de laatste 6 miljoen jaar een weg gebaand door de rotslagen van het Colorado Plateau, waarbij het gesteente steeds verder werd (en nog steeds wordt) weggeslepen. Omdat elke rotslaag weer uit een ander soort gesteente bestaat, zijn de effecten van de kracht van het water overal verschillend. Hierdoor is een gecompliceerd stelsel van diepe, grillig gevormde ravijnen ontstaan. Behalve het water van de Colorado River hebben ook andere eroderende krachten, zoals vorst en de wind, veel invloed gehad. Het Nationale Park wordt door de kloof in twee helften verdeeld, die hemelsbreed maar 16 kilometer van elkaar zijn verwijderd. Maar als je met de auto van de zuidzijde (de South Rim) naar de noordzijde (de North Rim) wilt rijden, dan moet je een afstand van maar liefst 315 kilometer afleggen! Je kan de Grand Canyon bekijken vanaf de verschillende uitkijkpunten aan zowel de South Rim als de North Rim. Dit is vooral erg mooi als de zon opkomt of ondergaat, je ziet dan de prachtige kleuren in de ravijnwanden, die veroorzaakt worden door de aanwezigheid van mineralen.

Harvey Butchart's Hiking Log DETAILED HIKING LOGS (January
Harvey Butchart’s Hiking Log DETAILED HIKING LOGS (January 22, 1965 - September 25, 1965) Mile 24.6 and Hot Na Na Wash [January 22, 1965 to January 23, 1965] My guest for this trip, Norvel Johnson, thought we were going for just the day. When I told him it was a two day trip, he brought in his sleeping bag, but since he had no knapsack, we decided to sleep at the Jeep. The idea was to see Hot Na Na from the rim on Friday and then go down it as far as possible on Saturday. We thought we were following the Tanner Wash Quad map carefully when we left the highway a little to the north of the middle of the bay formed by Curve Wash in the Echo Cliffs. What we didn't realize is that there is another turnoff only a quarter of a mile north of the one we used. This is the way we came out of the hinterland on Saturday. Our exit is marked by a large pile of rocks and it gives a more direct access to all the country we were interested in seeing. The way we went in goes west, south, and north and we got thoroughly confused before we headed toward the rim of Marble Canyon. The track we followed goes considerably past the end of the road which we finally identified as the one that is one and a half miles north of Pine Reservoir. It ended near a dam. We entered the draw beyond the dam and after looking down at the Colorado River, decided that we were on the north side of the bay at Mile 24.6.

South Kaibab Trail, Grand Canyon
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park Arizona South Kaibab Trail Hikers seeking panoramic views unparalleled on any other trail at Grand Canyon will want to consider a hike down the South Kaibab Trail. It is the only trail at Grand Canyon National Park that so dramatically holds true to a ridgeline descent. But this exhilarating sense of exposure to the vastness of the canyon comes at a cost: there is little shade and no water for the length of this trail. During winter months, the constant sun exposure is likely to keep most of the trail relatively free of ice and snow. For those who insist on hiking during summer months, which is not recommended in general, this trail is the quickest way to the bottom (it has been described as "a trail in a hurry to get to the river"), but due to lack of any water sources, ascending the trail can be a dangerous proposition. The South Kaibab Trail is a modern route, having been constructed as a means by which park visitors could bypass Ralph Cameron's Bright Angel Trail. Cameron, who owned the Bright Angel Trail and charged a toll to those using it, fought dozens of legal battles over several decades to maintain his personal business rights. These legal battles inspired the Santa Fe Railroad to build its own alternative trail, the Hermit Trail, beginning in 1911 before the National Park Service went on to build the South Kaibab Trail beginning in 1924. In this way, Cameron inadvertently contributed much to the greater network of trails currently available for use by canyon visitors.

Kennelly ⁎ Department of Earth & Environmental Science, C.W.

These most commonly include first derivatives slope or aspect, and second Received in revised form 30 May 2008 derivatives planimetric or profile curvature. Such variables are often used in geomorphic analyses of terrain. Accepted 31 May 2008 First derivatives also provide subtle enhancements to hill-shaded maps. For example, some maps combine Available online 8 June 2008 oblique and vertical illumination, with the latter reflecting variations in slope. Keywords: This study illustrates how second derivative maps, in conjunction with hill-shading, can cartographically Planimetric curvature enhance topographic detail. A simple conic model indicates that image-tone edges where slope or aspect Profile curvature varies by less than 0.5° are visible on curvature maps. Hill-shaded images combined with curvature enhance Illumination the continuity of naturally occurring tonal edges, especially in strongly illuminated areas. Variations in Shaded relief planimetric and profile curvature seem to be especially effective at highlighting convergent and divergent Cartography drainages and variations in erosion rate between or within sedimentary units, respectively.

Bright Angel Trail
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Bright Angel Trail The Bright Angel Trail is considered the park’s premier hiking trail. Well maintained, graded for stock, with regular drinking water and covered rest-houses, it is without question the safest trail in Grand Canyon National Park. There is a ranger station located at the trail’s halfway point (Indian Garden) and one at the bottom of the canyon (Bright Angel Campground). Visitors hiking for the first time at Grand Canyon often use this trail in conjunction with the South Kaibab Trail. Particularly during hot weather, it makes sense to ascend via the Bright Angel Trail because of potable water, regular shade and emergency phones. Following a natural break in the cliffs formed by the massive Bright Angel Fault, today’s Bright Angel Trail approximates a route used for millennia by the many Native American groups that have called the Grand Canyon home. Early western pioneers at the canyon first built a trail in 1891 to reach mining claims established below the rim at Indian Garden. Recognizing that the true worth of the claims would be measured in visitation by tourists, these pioneers immediately registered their trail as a toll road and extended the trail to the river. The mining claims and use of the trail as a toll road would be the source of much controversy, first in legal battles with railroad companies that wanted to control tourism and later with the federal government. The trail was turned over to the National Park Service in 1928.
