(View, about west-northwest, from '''Yavapai Point, South Rim'''-Grand Canyon Village, up '''Trinity Creek canyon''', across Granite Gorge (parts of Grand Canyon Metamorphic Complex, ancient rock units)). The landform right is '''[[:en:Isis Temple]] and Cheops Pyramid''' sitting on large vertical cliffs of Redwall Limestone, upon slopes, then cliffs of '''Shinumo Quartzite''', an ancient "[[:en:monadnock]]"-and also the "Unkar Group horst", at Isis Temple, and later uplifted into a horst with units 1, 2, and 3 of the 5-unit [[:en:Unkar Group]]. Up Trinity Creek, is a fault, thus the vertical cliffs (not present under Isis Temple) of resistant, short [[:en:Tapeats Sandstone]], (Tapeats Sea, the [[:en:Great Unconformity]], and the resistant Tapeats the basis for the '''Tonto Platform''', on parts of north side, and south side Granite Gorge. The [[:en:Tonto Trail]] traverses the south side, Granite Gorge.
The Supai Group redbeds are also visible. Just left of the Isis Temple prominence, is the flat-topped-([[:en:Kaibab Limestone]]/Kaibab Formation)-(prominence)-'''Shiva Temple''', a sub-plateau, southwest of the major [[:en:Kaibab Plateau]]. (Note: its geologic sequences appear thicker, because of its closer position to the viewpoint.)
