Neither Fear nor Arrogance
Travertine Grotto The Travertine Grotto is a beautiful oasis in the lower granite gorge of Grand Canyon. This waterfall tumbles approximately 35 feet into the back of the grotto formed by re-deposited calcium carbonate. Our time spent here is always a blessing to everybody. However, it takes a little effort to get there. The rock faces and the rope ladders can be exhilarating for some, but quite scary for others. One particular river runner was very intimidated and afraid of making an attempt to get up into the grotto.
