Toroweap is an area on the north side of the Colorado River on the western end of Grand Canyon National Park. It is unique in that the landscape is dominated by volcanic features set against the sedimentary backdrop of much of the rest of the Canyon. It is an area of lava flows, cinder cones, and incredible views of the inner gorge of the Grand Canyon. It is far off the beaten track and this blog will detail the area and the time that I spend there.

Nampaweap Petroglyphs
We visited this rock art site several days ago and these pictures represent only a small part of the petroglyphs present. The art work stretches for several hundred feet along the basalt cliff and talus field. I read it is thought to be on the route that the Anasazi and there predecessors used to access the Grand Canyon.
