Landscape No water waterfall

No water waterfall · 07:12 PM

Grand Falls, Arizona in September...

It is higher than Niagara Falls. The chunk of rock on the second level is as big as a 2-storey house.

You have to travel a rough dirt road about 10 miles to get here.

There are no signs once you leave the highway.

There are a few observation huts, and picnic tables.

This is one of the huts. The Little Colorado river drops onto the Colorado River.

When first approaching the falls, I wondered if it was possible to go too far and miss them. You can. The road just stops at one side of the river and picks up at the other. This is all dry rock in the riverbed. I crossed it in a Toyota Celica...

It must be awesome with water, but I liked this view. too.

Wow, looks like an amazing place. I like the 4th one the best. I had to search and see what it looked like when its flowing and it looks like flowing chocolate.

Neat place! That's the Little Colorado, flowing from eastern AZ into the Colorado in the upper portion of the Grand Canyon.

Little Colorado River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a little curious info:

The generalization about tributaries flowing into major rivers is that they flow in at an angle with its narrow side upstream of the major river. (At best, you'd see one flowing in at a 90 degree angle, but even that's rare.)

However, the Little Colorado flows into the Colorado "backwards," so to speak: The narrow angle is downstream of the major. This has been taken as evidence that the Colorado River originally flowed in the opposite direction.

very well photographed, I enjoyed the series. This is an area that is very easy to get stuck or lost in and quite amazing during the flood and runoff season. thanks for sharing these great photos. Bob

Magnificent desolation! Great pics that show both the scale and isolation of the place.

What great shots. Amazing place. waterfalls can be interesting places to go when the water is low or in your case not there.

Love it (especially the fisheye). Colors are deep. Indeed looks an flash flood paradise.
