  2. Another view of the camp at Lower Bass at river mile 108.5. Christy had been hiking with me, but went ahead down to camp arriving just as this image was being captured. She can be seen three times around camp. William W. Bass established a tourist camp in this area about 1890, and later built a trans-Canyon trail ...

  4. A close up view of a Grand Canyon riparian area, this GigaPan was taken in a spot that rarely sees the burning sun. Just above a terrific swimming hole, this bend in the creek was the only shady spot I could reach without wading equipment across (again). Shinumo Creek supports a wide ecosystem through arid terrain, a...
