Views from the South Rim

The sun setting on the canyon- the reds are so brilliant.





Silhouette in the snow



















The canyon is so expansive, deep and wide, that even while standing right on the edge it all seems unreal. I walked about 7 miles along the rim to a place called Mather point. The trails were so deeply covered in snow that for the majority of the walk I was knee deep. The views at every step will absolutely take your breath away.
Tomorrow I begin my hike into the canyon!!
