Description
Grand Falls seems to glow when the setting sun's rays touch it. It is a natural waterfall located 30 miles northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona in the Painted Desert on the Navajo Indian Reservation. At 185 feet tall, it is taller than Niagara Falls. It dumps snow melt or summer monsoon rain into the Little Colorado River below. Grand Falls, also known as Chocolate Falls, is famous for its extremely muddy flow which is a major contributor to the opacity of the Little Colorado River . Heavy rains or snow melt will produce spectacular viewing, photography and sound whereas the scarcity of water will produce only trickles or no flow at all. Grand Falls was formed when lava from nearby Merriam Crater flowed into the Little Colorado River creating a lava dam. The river was forced to reroute itself around the dam and Grand falls formed where the reroute rejoins its original course. Grand Falls was seen in one scene of the 1964 western "A Distant Trumpet" starring Troy Donahue
