Description

Tucked in Bright Angel Canyon, along the North Kaibab Trail, one will find a profoundly sacred site for an entire people. For the A:shiwi (Zuni), Chimik’yana’kya dey’a (Ribbon Falls) is not just a waterfall, it's their place of emergence. Approach this site with respect, commune with it as you would any holy place--and leave much richer in your heart for having done so. Please, take nothing. Leave nothing. Spend a Minute Out In It seeing the first colors and hearing the first sounds of the Fourth World.
