to the right or to the left) to enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of the Grand Canyon National Park - South Rim in Arizona, USA at Desert View near
east entrance. Words can not describe the feeling!
On October 10, 2014, we drove from Flagstaff in Arizona to go north on Highway 89, then turned west on Highway 64 and entered the South Rim of
Grand Canyon National Park at its East Entrance. The first spectacular view of the South Rim of Grand Canyon with mile high canyon walls is the
Desert View near the Watchtower.

All Android smartphones and Android tablets running Android Version 4.2 or newer have very nice feature of highly automated and easy way to take
panoramic pictures. (iPhones and iPads also have similar feature for taking panoramic pictures easily.) In this 3-day tour of Grand Canyon from
October 10 to 13, 2014, I used my Google Nexus 10 tablet to take panoramic pictures of several spectacular views of the Grand Canyon.
The procedure to use Android devices to take panoramic pictures easily are described on my web page at:

Please scroll horizontally to enjoy the grandest panoramic view on earth through the large glass windows in Geology Museum at Yavapai Point. It is
stunning. You haven't seen the whole Grand Canyon if you miss this.
Yavapai Point Museum presents one of the grandest view on earth. But this is not just any view of the Grand Canyon. In the 1920s, some of the most
scientific minds gathered in Grand Canyon National Park to select the best representative view of Grand Canyon geology. They chose this site and
conceived of this building to showcase one of the world’s greatest wonders with vast erosional feature.
From here, look east, and see the Canyon stretching as far as the eye can see (sixty miles on a good day), and you know the Canyon extends another
fifty or sixty miles beyond that . . . Then you look west, and see the Canyon stretching as far as you can see in that direction too, and know it extends
downstream another fifty or sixty miles . . . Then you look across at the North Rim miles away, across a yawning gulf filled with rock spires, buttes, and
mesas . . . and finally you look down and see the Inner Gorge and the Colorado River nearly a mile below you.
If you come to tour the Grand Canyon, make sure you enter this building to see what makes this view so grand.

Many visitors are enjoying the fantastic view of the Grand Canyon from inside the Geology Museum at Yavapai Point.
With wing span from 9.5 to 11.4 feet, the giant condor is the largest flying bird in America. I am very happy to see and to get good
pictures of this giant condor flying over the Grand Canyon on October 12, 2014. This is my 8 years' dream comes true. If you dream
about something enough, it can come true.
As a bird watcher and photographer, I have been looking for 8 years for an opportunity to see and to photograph the giant condor cruising
in the air. My first attempt was in February 2006 when I toured the Pinnacles National Park in California and beautiful coastal Highway 1 in
California, especially near Big Sur as shown on my web pages at:
http://www.shltrip.com/Pinnacles_NP.html
and
http://www.shltrip.com/California_Coast.html
Pinnacles National Park is a release site of condor and is a potential location to see condor. The California Coast, especially the Big Sur
area is also potential site to see condor. I saw the beautiful scenery and many kinds of birds but did not see condor in that 2006 tour.
My second attempt was in my 2010 tour of the North Rim of Grand Canyon as shown on my web page at:
http://www.shltrip.com/Grand_Canyon.html
In that tour, I saw several condors perching on the ledges on the high cliff of the Marble Canyon which is the eastern end of Grand Canyon.
But I did not see condor flying in the air in that 2010 tour.
Therefore, seeing the giant condors flying over the Grand Canyon on October 12, 2014 is very exciting to me and is my 8 years' dream
comes true.

A giant condor in flight over the Grand Canyon on October 12, 2014. This condor was more than a mile away. I had to use my compact
super-zoom camera with 50X optical zoom (i.e., a powerful telescope to magnify the size of an image 50 times) to zoom in to get the nice
close up picture.

This condor has the tag number 16 under its wings. I had to use the Sport Mode which took a burst of 10 pictures in 0.7 second in addition
to the super-zoom on my camera to get the clear pictures of this condor maneuvering in the air. I saw this condor in the air when I was on
the Rim Trail near Lookout Studio between El Tover Lodge and Bright Angel Lodge.

The Inca Indian people in Peru admire and worship the mighty condor soaring freely high above the Andean mountains and deep
canyons. According to Peruvian Andean legend, the mighty condor is Andean spirit-bird of the upper world, is the only living creature
allowed access to Hanan Pacha (heaven), and is a messenger to bring advice from the god in the heaven to the Inca King. Condor
carried the souls of the dead across the heavens to the celestial river (Milky Way，銀河)
Please enjoy the world famous and very beautiful Peruvian Andean folk tune of Inca Indian entitled El Condor Pasa (i.e., The Condor
Passes or The Condor Goes By) at the following YouTube website:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V5mpJ8iA38
The lyrics of this Inca folk song translated into English are the following:
Oh mighty Condor owner of the skies
take me home, up into the Andes,
Oh mighty Condor.
I want to go back to my native place to be
with my Inca brothers, that is what I miss the most,
Oh mighty Condor.
Wait for me in Cuzco, in the main plaza,
so we can take a walk in Machu Picchu and Huayna-Picchu.

This may be the second condor that show up couple minutes after the first one.
On October 10, 2014, May Lee and other tourists saw a juvenile condor perching on a tree in the Grand Canyon near Mather Point as shown near
the end of May Lee's website at

Some other tourists said that they saw a condor cruising gracefully near the Mather Point on October 9, 2014.

This sign shows the comparison of the wing spans of condor, golden eagle and red-tailed hawk. It is seen that
condor is the largest one. This sign is located at a condor observation site on the (unpaved) House Rock Road
2.9 miles north of junction of Highway 89-Alt and House Rock Road (BLM Road 1065) in northern Arizona. This
junction is between Mileposts 565 and 566 of Highway 89-Alt and is about 14 miles east of Jacob Lake. This is
near a release site of condor on the majestic and beautiful Vermilion Cliffs along scenic Highway 89-Alt.
