[Mile-marker 18]
Grand View, six-tenths of a mile farther southeast, affords excellent
views of several features in and near Monument Canyon. A short improved
trail to the northeast leads to a sandstone ledge from which the
infrared photograph for the front cover was taken. The trail then veers
eastward to a fenced cliff-top viewpoint from which one may look nearly
straight down to a stretch of Monument Canyon Trail. You may see hikers
on the trail or buffalo in the canyon. The photograph for figure 6 was
taken from a point just north of the north end of the parking area.
