This panorama covers a lot of the view.

(Click to enlarge, BACK to return!)
On the left is Vishnu Temple.

In the middle is Horseshoe Mesa, across the Canyon.
(1/1000, f8, 25mm, ISO 320, -1 stop)
On the right is Wotans Throne. To the right of that on the far canyon wall, is what most people think of when they think Grand Canyon: the South Rim. I think Tour busses, traffic jams and screaming kids. None of that here on the North Rim! At least not now…

Freya Castle and Vishnu Temple. The Desert View Watchtower, a South Rim landmark, is just above Freya Castle on the horizon line where it breaks away and falls to the left, about 1/3 of the way from the left edge. This little block is from the original of one of the photos in the panorama below. It is magnified to 200% of normal size. The block is the Watchtower.

The view for people who don’t like cliffs and high places!

A different view on the way back from Cape Royal.
