“We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore.  What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not.  Ah well! we may conjecture many things.”  — John Wesley Powell

Note: What makes Grand Falls such a unique waterfall is the mud.  Little Colorado River is a very muddy river, and it forms a large “mud fall” instead of a “water fall.”  These falls are sometimes called the “Chocolate Falls.”
