American Southwest
The stars hang over the Grand Canyon from the Tuweep / Toroweap Overlook at night along the western side of the North Rim. The Toroweap Overlook stands 3000 vertical feet above the Colorado River.
'Tuweep in Paiute refers to "the earth," but this place name may be derived from a longer Paiute word meaning "long valley."'
