These words by John Burroughs, who called the Grand Canyon of the Colorado a "divine abyss." This sublime spectacle, observed from the North rim. Is without parallel In the entire world. It has been said that the mountains which elsewhere rear their peaks to the sky were cut from the Grand canyon and reversed on their present pedestal. Plainly, It is pictured as a colossal chasm, 280 miles long, a mile deep and about twelve miles wide, but it Is more precisely a measureless labyrinth of canyons with an infinite array of magnificent colored forms UDraised from Its depths. "It Is the subllmest portion of the chasm," Captain Duttoh wrote of the North rim, "being nearly thousand feet deeper than any other, far more diversified and complex, and is adorned with a multitude of magnificent features either wanting or much less strongly represented elsewhere." Kaibab Division of Canyon Seven To Fourteen Miles Wide. The United States geological sur vey shows that the Kaibab or North rim division oi tne urana onyun u seven to fourteen miles wide and a mile or more deea The elevation at the North run Is from 8000 to 9000 feet, and Is eroded extensively into tremendous lateral gorges and am nhi theaters.

Geofrraphically, these, two scenic wonders are in Arizona, approachable from the north across the Utah line, so that the two states share ownerships pride and present them as master attractions to those who are lured to the southern Utah parks of Zion'S, Bryce and Cedar Breaks. Conveniently, however, the Kaibab and the Grand canyon on the north rim of that huge abyss are approached from Kanab. .Utah, and Fredonia, Ariz., by pleasant highway. Extinct Volcano Looms Up In The Purple Distance. After leaving the vivid Vermillion cliffs which stretch across southern Utah for great distances, the Immense blue arch of the Kaibab plateau becomes more noticeable and Mt. Trumbull, an extinct volcano overlooking the Grand canyon, looms tn the purple distance. Upon the vast stretch of the Intervening desert range many wild horses, some of them direct descendants, perhaps, of the fine, blooded Arabian steeds brought into the southwest by the Spaniards. The road to the Kaibab and- - the Grand canyon follows the Vermillion cliffs eastward past a petrified forest on Cedar ridge and through the Kaibab Indian reservation to Pipe Spring, a famous oasis in the desert, transformed Into a national monument In 1923. Here Is one of th finest springs in the world, dis charging 100.000 gallons of water daily in an unceasing flow. Cliffs Banded With All Colors of the Rainbow. From Pipe Springs, the Vermillion cliffs recede northward, giving way to the Shinarump cliffs, banded with streaks of red. brown, lavender, choc olate and white. Soon the road leads Into Fredonia, the only town in northern Arizona, north of the Grand canyon.' Over the prismatic plains, the way leads upward toward the Kaibab, up the gentle slopes of Buckskin mountain and, breathlessly, into the air most limitless forests of the Kaibab Dlateau. Kanab, the southernmost town In Utah, Is a Mormon settlement, 85 miles from the nearest railroad point at Cedar City. ' ..
