I think that I mentioned the Bright Angel Fault is one of the causes of the Grand Canyon's transept--part of what makes it so much wider than just what the Colorado River and its tributaries have gouged out of the Earth. Here's another panorama shot that shows a fairly recent landslide (the white patch on the right) and the canyon excavated by the fault. This was taken from a little ways up the Transept Trail.
