Amber waves of grain - above Crystal Rapid - Grand Canyon

            These grasses/reeds were growing near our camp near Mile 98.3 and were blowing gently in the wind.  I believe that these are Phragmites australis ( see "River and Desert Plants of the Grand Canyon", Kristin Huisinga Lori Makarick pages 44 & 45). If anyone can confirm my guess at this identification,  I would appreciate it.  

I rafted with Arizona Raft Adventures AZRA.
