The Grand Canyon at sunset (Yaki Point on south rim). 🌅Peep the couple enjoying the view on the right. The Grand Canyon is a place where pictures do not do it justice. Breathtaking.

A sunrise hike on the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon. Can you spot the 🦌? I also ran into a couple of big horn sheep on the trail (photos to come). I think the key was starting before sunrise—no crowds.

Flaming Gorge National Rec Area (Utah side). This is Red Canyon. There’s a campground nearby, so you can view spectacular sunrises with your coffee and beautiful sunsets like this before tucking in for the night.
