Photographer Description of Mather Point
A panorama over the Grand Canyon taken from Mather Point on the South Rim. There is a narrow ledge of rock that extends from the top of the cliff, and this is where I chose to stand to take the panorama. No room for mistakes then. Taken in spring, the image shows snow at the top of the canyon giving the ground a dusting of white. Stepping forward, the next landfall would be a mere 10 miles away.Mather Point - Further Information

Right of this is O'Neill Butte and then Cedar Ridge which leads to the trail head.
