| Description |
Rockslide as seen from Hopi Point on the morning of Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 10:40 a.m. Hopi Point is located along the scenic Hermit Road on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. The formation located behind the rockslide is Shiva Temple. NPS photo by Jacob Fillion. College students participating in the Grand Canyon Semester program were talking with the Wildlife Biologist at Hopi Point and looking at the Condor nest below Grandeur Point.; thunderhead clouds were building over the North Rim in a buildup to what seemed like another beautiful afternoon monsoon rain. There was a thunder clap, yup, it’s going to rain soon. But the thunder kept rolling on and we looked north to see a plum of red dust rising from the Supai layer below Cheops Temple. The plum got bigger and changed to white as the rockfall hit the Redwall Limestone layer below! WOW canyon building live and in color! Visitors asked if this happens often – it depends on how you define often; it’s been happening for six million years. - JF Learn more about Grand Canyon Geology here: <a href="http://nature.nps.gov/views/layouts/Main.html#/GRCA/geology/" rel="nofollow">nature.nps.gov/views/layouts/Main.html#/GRCA/geology/</a> Learn more about Hermit Road here: <a href="http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/hermit-road.htm" rel="nofollow">www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/hermit-road.htm</a> |
