    u.l. printed: Far beyond the gloomy and forbidding river \ gorge, where, through twelve miles of space, looms \ the north wall of the canyon in all its grand sym- \ metry of cliff and terrace, we not as our eyes be- \ come more accustomed to the variety of form and \ color a towering gateway opening away into a deep \ and dizzy gulf that recedes far into Kaibab Plateau. \ This is the Bright Angel Amphitheatre, a noble \ canyon valley two or three miles wide, fifteen miles \ in length, and deep as the main canyon itself, and \ second only to it in imposing grandeur. Through \ its center flows Bright Angel Creek, the Colorado's most beautiful tributary.
