Arizona - Grand Canyon: Unkar Rapids of Colorado River @ Cardenas Canyon, seen from Lipan Point

            If you look north / northeast at Lipan Point, you can see a double loop of the Colorado in an S-shape. This is the Unkar Rapids, a rapid that has a drop of about 8 meters over 400 meters. It is also the delta of Unkar Creek, which flows into the Colorado from the north and which forms the delta through sand and rocks washed by it. This area also contains 52 ruins over 1,000 years old of the Anasazi Indians who lived there from about 850 to 1200 and used the fertile area to grow grain in terraces. The Unkar Delta represents one of the largest arable areas on the banks of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.
