Huxley Terrace

United States

Huxley Terrace is a narrow, linear mesa-like platform extending northeast from Mount Huethawali in western Grand Canyon on the South Rim; (it is about 1.2 mi in length). Three landforms surround Mount Huethawali; the Darwin Plateau extends southwest (but is actually a semicircle platform at the south); two terraces are at the north of Huethawali, Spencer Terrace extends north-northwest, and Huxley Terrace extends northeast. The center of Huxley Terrace is ~1.0 mile from Mount Huethawali, and ~1.0 mile northwest of the southwest end of the Grand Scenic Divide. Huxley Terrace is about 2.0 miles south of a west-flowing excursion of the Colorado River. This short excursion of the Colorado River is west of the Grand Scenic Divide with the three terraces, two major canyons/creeks, and a more minor canyon between Spencer and Huxley Terrace. This narrow minor canyon and watershed, is high-walled, and narrow, (Copper Creek (Arizona)), and the Upper Copper Canyon is named the Evolution Amphitheater.
