Misrepresentation of Grand Canyon rock formations

[RHernandez (Roberto L Hernandez)]

@J.E.S

USGS probably has authority to make humans obstructing the photos move, and they would have the ability to go to those areas at times when few other people do (Some of their other photos may be in areas that are not reached by actual hiking trails).

@dscottjorgenson

This is a wilderness location 1.5 miles up a side canyon in the heart of nowhere, accessed only by occasional backcountry hikers, who decide to make the trek while passing by on a rafting trip and perhaps camping on the beach where Carbon Canyon meets the river.

It’s obvious to me that the people in the photograph were almost certainly all of the same party and thus able to collude to hide a fracture or two if they wanted to. Whether that was their intention or not, we can only speculate.

Jonathan - none of your racionalizations stand up. Can you admit it?
