The
Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is the greatest geologic
showcase on the planet Earth—nearly 2 billion
years of earth history are breathtakingly revealed here.
Experience this spectacular region from the point of
view of the raven as rare aerial photography takes the
viewer from rim to river level in sweeping flights of
fantasy. This extraordinary video provides us with views
of the towers, pinnacles, spires, and temples that only
the free flight of the bird, or helicopter, can provide.
We
also see the Grand Canyon from the perspective of those
few who have seen it from outer space. One of the few
features on Earth that is visible from space is beautifully
revealed in footage shot by members of NASA’s
Space Shuttle.
This
is also the home of early–American cultures—people
of the Folsom, Desert Archaic, Pre-Puebloan (Anasazi),
Havasupai, Hopi, and Navajo have all found sustenance
and spiritual renewal in this land. Learn their histories
and uses of this breathtaking landscape.
Early
explorers of the Southwest—Coronado, Dominguez
& Escalante, Ives, and Powell—all left their
marks here as well. See the Grand Canyon through their
eyes as we descend to river level—skimming only
inches above river level on a breathtaking journey through
the heart of the Canyon.
