This friendly family were kind enough to let us take
numerous photos, though the Tarahumarans usually tend to be quite shy.

The Copper Canyon is actually four times larger than the
Grand Canyon.

Watch your step!!!
|
The Copper Canyon region is actually made up of four
interconnecting canyons.
|
The Sierra Madre Occidental Range stretches 806 miles.
|
Erosion was just one of the factors that created the
canyons over 60 million years.
|
It's a lonnnnnng way down........!!!!!
|
The canyon region was formed during a period where
thousands of volcanoes spewed lava and ash over the surrounding area.
|
The dryness at this time of year gave many of the trees a
more barren, fall-like appearance.
|
The elevations in this region average around 7,500 feet.
|
We could see the storm clouds starting to roll in with some
much needed rain.
