Nathaniel P Langford, 1870, one of the first explorers to record his impressions of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River said: " ... As I took in the scene, I realized my own littleness, my helplessness, my dread exposure to destruction, my inability to cope with or even comprehend the mighty architecture of nature ..."
