VIEW FROM BRIGHT ANGEL HOTEL. 



Li'fyright, igoOt 

 by H. G. Peabody. 



.^^i^HIS titan of chasms lies in Northern Arizona and is reached by daily 

 trains of the Santa Fe System, connecting at Williams, Arizona, 

 with the Grand Canyon Railway, extending to Bright Angel. 

 The Canyon proper is 217 miles long, 13 miles wide, and more than a 

 mile deep. The portion most frequented by tourists is known as the 

 "granite gorge," extending from Grand View sixty miles west to Mystic 

 Spring trail. Bright Angel trail is midway, and is the point from which 

 the above panorama is viewed. Here one may look up and down the mighty 

 gorge for miles and miles. The profound depths, the marvelous forms, the 

 brilliant colors by day and the soft witchery by night, the silence of it all — 

 — these play upon the emotions in a strenuous way. Stay there a month, 

 and every hour of the day you have a new thrill; stay there a year, and the 

 charm still holds. Whether viewed from the rim, from the precipitous trail, or 

 from the imprisoned river; whether seen at dawn, noon, twilight, or under 

 the serene stars — it is always in truth the '.'greatest thing in the world." 



For 50 cents a magnificent volume about the Grand Canyon may be obtained, properly 

 illustrated, containing articles by noted writers, with lithographed cover in seven colors, or 



For 25 cents an illuminated colored photograph will be sent. This shows the Canyon as 

 it actually appears, in all its natural and wonderful colors. Address
