People visiting the Grand Canyon National Park have this almost irresistible urge to soar into the currents and dip deep into the chasms of history.

Click on the pictures for more detail.

Of course, there is one other urge too
as one nears the edge of that deep hole 
which cannot be denied..

The urge to grab hold and hang on for dear life!

The Grand Canyon has a solid stream of visitors to it from all around the world. The floor of the canyon is one mile down from this site.  A trail goes down for hikers, and for those who wish to ride mules.  The mules are the safer journey as they are more sure-footed than humans, and too stubborn to obey any frantic tuggings at the reins.  Hikers on the other hand have been known to go berserk and tumble for a faster trip down.
