Sinuous walls of a side canyon are carved by the waters of Deer Creek. Sandstone
deposited 600 million years ago is cut away by rushing water that reveals the softer
and the more resistant bands. The force of water continues to shape and reshape the
Grand Canyon, a world heritage site protected as a legacy for all people.
