“The landscape everywhere, away from the river, is rocks — cliffs of rock; plateaus of rock; terraces of rock; crags of rock; ten thousand strangely carved forms — rocks everywhere....[and in] long, gentle curves the river winds about these rocks.”

John Wesley Powell — American Geologist, Professor at Illinois Wesleyan University, and Explorer of the American West, who was famous for The 1869 Powell Geographic Expedition — a three-month trip down the Green and Colorado Rivers (1834 — 1902).
