Not only did these springs assist

Besides viewing just the flowers blooming in springtime, springs and seeps are also common and stunning views along your travels. They are some of the most important and precious natural resources found in the park. Spring discharge is important in supplying aquifer systems. Likewise, the water has been found to give base flow to the Colorado River, providing drinking water to wildlife and visitors. Not only did these springs assist in the erosion that has made the canyons into what they currently look like, but these springs are often locations of exceptional natural beauty and many hold cultural significance to the Native American tribes in the region.
