Deer Creek


Deer Creek


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.
