The walk of a mile or more along Spencer Terrace is over flat Supai rock, pitted with round holes, where shallow catches of rain-water stand and grow green, and where more boulders weighing tons seem to have been rolled out and abandoned by a race of giants.

All the terraces within view are much alike in their rock floors, their flat reach, their precipices, and their feeling of remoteness.
