Muddy Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ



Muddy Colorado River
Photographer: Steve Kosednar

Black Bridge - bottom of the Grand Canyon! (Colorado River mile 87.5) The muddy river water is from a September 15th Paria Canyon flash flood. (Colorado River mile .2 - 1.0.)

My brother Steve, 41, hiked rim to rim today! South Rim to the North Rim. That's his backpack and hiking poles in the photo. He sent the picture from his cell phone. Last night he stayed at the Grand Canyon South Rim Thunderbird Lodge. At 5 a.m. he started hiking down the Bright Angel Trail. Steve finished his rim to rim hike at 2 p.m. Photo by Steve Kosednar
