Summary edit

Description

Sunday, March 3, 2013 - a weak low pressure system brought a blanket of clouds to the canyon this afternoon, causing a dark and subdued sunset.

Yavapai Museum of Geology, located one mile east (1.6 km) of Market Plaza, provides spectacular views of Grand Canyon. Geological displays include three-dimensional models, powerful photographs, and interpretive panels which allow park visitors to see and understand the complicated geologic story of the area. The Yavapai exhibits explain the deposition of the rock layers, the uplift of the Colorado Plateau, and the carving of the Grand Canyon. www.nps.gov/grca/parknews/20070524yav_rededication.htm

A Grand Canyon Association bookstore within the museum is a great place to browse for gifts.
