Description

This formation is seen from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Called the battleship because its shape has features that remind some of the deck and bridge of a ship. Some say it even appears to have the smokestacks near the bridge.

The Grand Canyon has never been completely seen and never will be. It changes it seems many times a second. The earth's rotation and the light from the sun constantly change the appearance. Add in a cloud and again it is changed. In minutes scenes can change from red to pink, to purple, to blue, to brown, to gray, and many combinations and probably more. A view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

"The South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon is expensive and overcrowded, and there is usually a shortage of parking and accommodation, but that of course doesn't matter as the canyon is the most famous natural attraction in the USA and possibly in the world. No-one forgets their first sight of the Grand Canyon and it will never fail to impress or offer something new, no matter how often it is visited. The great gorge, formed over many millions of years by the Colorado River, is 277 miles long, well over 5,000 feet deep for most of its length, and includes hundreds of tributaries. Grand Canyon National Park was established in 1919, and after several expansions, currently encompasses almost 2 million square miles of northern Arizona, with elevations ranging from 1,200 feet at the west edge, close to Lake Mead, to 9,165 feet on the Kaibab Plateau."
