One of the most awesome natural wonders on earth, the Grand Canyon has for generations challenged artists to capture its myriad moods and unveil its many faces. Here, in stunning color, are the best efforts of some of the nation's most creative contemporary photographers to do just that -- in every light and every season. Here are slender spires and giant buttresses of rock, rising from the abyss to tell their story of the ages. Here is the tempestuous Colorado River, filling the canyon with its timeless song. And here are the hardy people, flora, and fauna that live and play in the depths and on the rims of this celebrated chasm. Augmenting the photos are the eloquent observations of some of the canyon's most ardent admirers. In these pages, you will come to know the canyon in all its grandeur -- and you will never cease to be inspired by the experience.
