Sunday, 25 February 2024 - Again we were up early. We were headed to Yaki Point, which is only accessible via shuttle. Since we were up before the shuttle was running, we hiked the mile to the point from the main road.

It was very cold on the rim of the canyon. I was happy when the sun began to shine on us and the canyon.

It was magical to see the light hit the canyon.

A last look at the Grand Canyon from Yaki Point.

We headed to El Tovar, the lodge on the South Rim, for a great breakfast.

After several hours of working on our photographs we headed out for a sunset location. After looking at several view points we decided on Mohave Point.

Clouds hung over the Grand Canyon but there looked to be an area near the earth where they might let in the sunset.

Even with the cloud cover the Grand Canyon is beautiful. There was a nice sliver of the Colorado River far below.

The clouds were so cool - a black and white version also looks good.
