(the soft-Greenish slopes are Bright Angel Shale)
English: The Bright Angel Canyon on the south flank of the Kaibab Plateau, North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
  • Bright Angel Canyon separates an extension plateau, southeast from the Kaibab, to Cape Royal (point, 7865 ft); the named plateau is only a fractional size of the Kaibab, and named the Walhalla Plateau, but faces the Colorado River, (& Grand Canyon), NNE, S, and SW, (to the start of Granite Gorge).
  • The Bright Angel Canyon is named after the geologic Cambrian formation Bright Angel Shale, middle member of the Tonto Group, and part of the first (horizontal)-layers above the Vishnu Group basement rocks of the Grand Canyon.
  • This sub-Canyon is obviously a major landscape of the Grand Canyon. Its existence is the result of earth forces, the faults that helped create the canyon and the Colorado River’s many tributary features.
