On the photo tour, the guides clear out small sections of the canyon for 2 minutes at a time, giving everyone who paid the extra bucks a chance to set their tripod and get the shot. Every so often a non-English speaking tourist from one of the &#8220;regular&#8221; tours stumbles into our view, but our guide Rosie chews them out like a Navajo Drill Sergeant, no translation required.
