The rocks of the canyon walls show a record of the Paleozoic Era, 541 to 252 million years ago. At the bottom of the canyon are stones dating from the Precambrian Era, almost 2 billion years ago.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8.
