Doug I liked your description. I would need to see the down river side to discuss it. I have seen the Grand Canyon and it wasn't in my opinion cut by the river. The GC has large butte like formations that sit in the canyon, the river would have to alternate back and forth on each side of this type of structure how could that occur? These are not all cut threw loop formations either. The deep side canyons that have tiny streams would not have cut them the same speed as the the Colorado. Why would it be so wide if it weren't fractured to smitherines? Your thinking about the catastrophe though….it will make more and more sense them more you think about it. I was 12 when I first say the GC and I remember so clearly listening to the Ranger as he described the layers of the earth. I asked where the material came from that made the layers. He said it blew here from other places. That furrowed my brow permanently. Kamron
