    Sunset at the Grand Canyon

    Make sure you can experience a sunset here at the Grand Canyon. A visit during the day is OK, but the true beauty of the Canyon is displayed when the sun is setting and provides long shadows and warm colours that change every minute. Don’t make the mistake I saw some people make and do not arrive just a few minutes before sunset. It is the low sun that makes it all spectacular (from +/- 30 to 10 minutes before sunset), not the exact moment the sun disappears.

    As difficult as it may be, it's worth the effort to raise your weary bones and catch a Sunrise at the Grand Canyon. The best vantage poiints are those that face east, such as Yavaupi Point, where you can see the sky gradually brighten and then the sun peak over the horizon. Then, as the air warms and the sun ascends, it gradually illuminates the previously-hidden features of the Canyon below. You may be cold watching this -- even in summer the desert air can be chilly -- but you will never forget the experience.

    Sun touching the tops of the

    by grandmaR

    We went out in the pitch dark to see the Canyon at sunrise. It is awesome to see the sun first touch the tops of the rocks, and gradually travel down into the Canyon. In the summer, do most of your landscapes early in the morning or late in the evening. Otherwise, all the nooks and crannies will tend to blend into each other and you won't get any sense of the depth. During the day, concentrate more on closer-up details. In spite of all you do, photographs won't capture but a fraction of the experience.

    *yawn* - this was (obviously) a very early morning, but so worth it. Dare I say the best sunrise I've ever seen?? We did a little (off road) rock climb to get out on a limb - naughty! But it managed to get us away from the many people gathering on the recommended ledge. Obviously be careful if you are doing this, there are plenty of horror stories about falling into the canyon. Despite this I think you'll agree that these photos are priceless.

    When you are on the South Rim, you can choose from several viewing points. Each gives a breathtaking sight on the red-brown-green-blue rocks. The best times are sunrise and sunset. Rain and cloudy skies can be disappointing, but wait for a while... of course you don't plan to just spend a few hours here, do you? The colors and the silence are amazing. One can really find the peace of mind on a ledge, staring somewhere far....
