Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Grand Canyon, Sicht vom Yavapai Point
English: View from Yavapai Point. Brignt Angel Canyon, opposite Yavapai Point, (South Rim, view of Kaibab Plateau, North Rim). The thin, resistant en:Tapeats Sandstone forms the flatness in the inner canyon-(Tonto Platform), with the slope-forming units of Muav Limestone, and Bright Angel Shale accumulating upon it. The cliffs of the Redwall Limestone is one geologic layer above.

(view slightly north-northwest) Isis Temple is the prominence in center. (Pipe Creek (canyon) is below on South Rim side). West of Isis Temple is Trinity Creek and its watershed canyon. Behind Isis Temple is the Phantom Creek, and watershed, with Buddha Temple and Buddha Cloister, just to the right (two points extend south to form Buddha Cloister -- Sturdevant Point, left, and Johnson Point (right over Bright Angel Canyon).
(below, right, to Isis Temple) Cheops Pyramid (over whitish slopes). Isis Temple and Cheops Pyramid sit at the southwest fault block (a horst) at Bright Angel Canyon (and south wall of Phantom Creek (canyon)). The Grandview-Phantom faultline crosses, from NW to E-by-SE, (to Grandview Point-(South Rim), to turn, due-south). It intersects, here, at Granite Gorge with the Bright Angel Fault (NNE-by-SSW, approximate, north rim and south rim (up Indian Garden, Garden Creek)). The Unkar Group Horst which Isis and Cheops sit on has 3 sub-faults, as part of the horst-landform. The reddish and lavendar slopes at the promincence's base are Hakatai Shale, over Bsss Limestone. The Shinumo Quartzite forms the erosion-resistant cliff, above. (with no Tapeats Sandstone-(Tapeats Sea), the Shinumo was an island; instead, Bright Angel Shale, and Muav Limestone, above

Note: Trinity Creek (watershed), left; Ninetyone Mile Creek wateshed (0.5 mi east); unnamed Wash, (drains Cheops Pyramid, on Unkar Group Horst), Wash = "Eightynine Mile Wash", and opposite outfall of Garden Creek (& Canyon, with en:Bright Angel Trail, from Maricopa Point region, South Rim); and Bright Angel Canyon (& Creek), photo right)
