One of the most striking features of the Grand Canyon is the natural formation known as Eagle Point. I took quite a few snaps of it when I was there a little while back.
I’m trying to find out how wide it is, from wing tip to wing tip (so to speak). I can find lots of articles on Eagle Point, but none that actually hazard a guess as to how wide it is.
Can anyone help?
I haven’t been able to find any descriptions good enough to pinpoint its location, but it seems to be visible from a Quartermaster Canyon overlook. Here’s a map showing Quartermaster Canyon; maybe if you remember the details of how you got there, which way you had to look to see the eagle, etc., you can figure out the rest. The map only shows one road leading to an overlook of Quartermaster Canyon (the road ending near the top center of that map), but that doesn’t seem to quite match the pictures I saw–perhaps there’s a newer road not shown on that topo.
If you can figure out where the eagle formation is (and so how far away it was) you can figure out how wide it was. Any idea where the viewpoint is (is that even the right map?)?
Or you can post some of the pics; at least they’ll be fun to look at.
