Adventure awaits those who explore Grand Canyon National Park's desert rims, yawning canyons, and wild river rapids. But beware: the Grand Canyon is a place of extremes. From scorching sun that gives way to freezing blizzards, plateaus that abruptly end in vertical cliffs, and flash floods that rage through bone dry ravines, the Park can be a dangerous place for the unwary.

Intriguing Animals!
Disturbing Facts!
If there's a way to die in the Grand Canyon, you'll find it pictured here, ready for your coloring enjoyment. This coloring book also offers facts about the park and it's many animals (peaceful and otherwise) and even a few tips to help you stay alive during what hopefully isn't your last trip to America's only Wonder of the Natural World.

| FLUSHED AWAY! One moment you're exploring the serpentine corridors of a slot canyon, the next you're being simultaneously drowned and pulverized in a torrent of water and debris. Flash floods have helped form the Canyon over millennia, and they've ended a few lives in the process. So what causes a flash flood? Well, rain, of course. The tricky part is that huge amounts of water can be transferred across the plateau from a storm many miles away, making it nearly impossible to determine if the location you've chosen for a picnic is in danger of becoming a raging, muddy cataract. In general, don't enter tributary canyons during periods of rain
and if you see (or hear) flood water approaching get to high ground quick!
Animal Spotlight: Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus aberti) and Kaibab Squirrel (Sciuris aberti kaibabensis). The Abert's squirrel calls the South Rim home. The Kaibab squirrel lives solely on the North Rim. Scientists consider the Kaibab a case of geographic isolation; long ago Abert's squirrels colonized the Kaibab plateau, slowly became cut off from southern squirrels as the last ice age receded, and are now considered a separate subspecies. Color the Kaibab dark brown with a white tail, and the Abert's gray with a white belly! Can a squirrel kill you? No. C'mon, seriously. Suggested colors: Soupy Sepia, Churning Chocolate, Prickly Pear Green -from page 26 |
