Like I said in my previous post, the the south rim of the Grand Canyon is more crowded. The reason could be easier accessibility and good facilities year round, but the reason could also be that the views are much grander! The magnitude of this place is just unimaginable until you see it for yourself. I was there midweek and it was still very crowded, with people and cars everywhere, and after you've seen the place, you know why the millions go there each year to see one of the greatest sights the natural world has to offer - welcome to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The vista from "Desert View"
Please drive carefully - Mountain Lions crossing! :)
Before we reach the Grand Canyon south rim from the east entrance, we come across a slightly less grander canyon carved out by the Little Colorado river. (the curve isn't natural and it is because of the fish-eye lens I used to take the photograph)
The Little Colorado River
More of the canyon cut by the Little Colorado river
The plateau with the canyon
The Desert. As seen from the "Desert View" viewpoint
The Desert View. And I see the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon for the first time
The spectacular Desert View
Around Desert View
People at the viewpoint. That's like 0.01% of the people at the viewpoint that day! :-)
The Grand Canyon! The Colorado river is dwarfed by the canyon it created!
Layers of Rock.
As the sun goes down, the magical light graces the Canyon walls
Magical. Isn't it?
The sun's almost down
People gather around the viewpoints to catch the magnificent show
The last light of the day
