Photo ID: GC2554.jpg South Rim of the Grand Canyon. View from Mohave Point (6,800 ft high) Isis Temple (7,014 ft high) the huge pink mountain in the center with a tan top. On the right, Cheops Pyramid (5,399 ft high) is the gray mountain with a flat pinkish top located right in front of the left "arm" of Isis. Above Cheops is the long left "arm" of another huge mountain that is known as Buddha Temple (7,204 ft high) that rises up to a square tan box visible just below the horizon. The background shows the Grand Canyon's top three geologic layers: FIRST TAN LAYER includes white Kaibab Formation (270 million years ago), gray Toroweap formation (273 m.y.a.) and yellow Coconino Sandstone (275 m.y.a.); SECOND RED LAYER includes rust Hermit Shale Formation (280 m.y.a.), pinkish red of the Supai Group (315-285 m.y.a.) and red Redwall Limestone (340 m.y.a.); and, THIRD GRAY LAYER includes light gray Temple Butte Formation (385 m.y.a.), dark gray Muav Limestone (505 m.y.a.) and light gray Bright Angel Shale (515 m.y.a.). THE GRAND CANYON BEGAN when the Colorado River started carving through the rock layers 5 or 6 million years ago.
