Quote: "There is an exquisite charm in our ride today down this beautiful canyon. It gradually grows deeper with every mile of travel; the walls are symmetrically curved, and grandly arched; of a beautiful color, and reflected in the quiet waters in many places, so as to almost deceive the eye, and suggest the though, to the beholder. we are all in fine spirits, feel very gay"(74).
Review: This trip of Powell also led people then to a knowledge of such a beautiful place that people didn't know before. He started this trip, trying to figure out what's over there down in the river, and he really shows people how beautiful the Colorado River is.
