It extends from Toroweap Point-(Toroweap Overlook), to 150 Mile Canyon on the Esplanade Sandstone member of the Supai formation. It originated as a cattle trail and many cowboy camps can be found along its extent. It has few reliable water sources, Schmutz Spring at the head of Tuckup Canyon being one of them.

Toroweap Valley

The Toroweap Overlook occurs at a transition point of the west Grand Canyon. The Toroweap Fault has caused a down-faulted section to the west. Lava Falls, and Vulcan's Throne are two landforms produced by the Uinkaret volcanic field viewed to the west and northwest. One of the Colorado River's major rapids, Lava Falls Rapids can be seen in the river, the blockage at the base of Lava Falls. The Tuckup trail traverses the bases of Toroweap Point, Big Point (Tuckup Point), and 12-miles east, SB Point.

gollark: We already ran into netsplits or something after one of the two servers went down. This is very IRC.
gollark: If you use tty0.xyz, which doesn't support it at all, or force no SSL, it should work.
gollark: You can also try the other server, tty0.xyz.
