Grand Canyon at sunset - June 1

The Grand Canyon at sunset was spectacular and I was able to get a lot of great shots as the sun went down. All of the lookouts were mob-scenes with an international crowd of people jostling for position for the best views and best pictures. My mother and I were able to snap a couple of pictures of each other at the guard rail before being pushed out of the way by some Japanese tourists. Later that night, we tried checking into a lodge in the canyon village but everything was booked, so we had to drive 7 miles out of the park to find a hotel. If you plan to stay in the canyon village, definitely book your rooms in advance!

The people on this Grand Canyon overlook are dwarfed by layers and layers of mountains.

As the moon was rising, I got this outline of a tree at the edge of the Grand Canyon.
