The Grand Canyon


Grand Canyon Sunset

Sunset and sunrise are special times at The Grand Canyon National Park. Light coming into the Canyon from the east in the morning and the west in the evening yields a glorious array of colors on the Canyon's walls. A cloudy sky only enhances this light and its subsequent shadows to some of the most spectacular visions ever seen.

The Grand Canyon in the winter is a special place. The crowds are sparse and while the weather can be bitterly cold, the unimpeded views of the Grand Canyon makes the freezing to sub-freezing temperatures and snow worth the trip.
