In the bottom of the Grand Canyon along the main corridor rim-to-rim trail Bright Angel Creek joins the mighty Colorado River.
Taken on Grand Canyon hike 11/28/10
In 1869, Major John Wesley Powell named the clear waters of Bright Angel Creek in contrast to the muddy Colorado River and a tributary upstream he’d named the Dirty Devil.

The colours in that photo are just amazing. Diane
Beautiful photo...I do want to get back to the Grand Canyon.
I started following you blog more recently and very much enjoy. I am a huge national park fan and would love to become a ranger one day.
I can see by this that it fall it is at its best.
I'd still like to go down the Grand Canyon. But I want a helicopter ride back up. :)
Great colors in this photo!
A beautiful fall capture, Gaelyn. Nice to see those yellows and golds!
Its always very interesting to find out how places and things got their names. Love this one.
Dirty Devil, that's good. I love these soft colors.
