Although many people ask, there really isn't a single best Grand Canyon view. Each location is unique and offers a new insight. The Grand Canyon is about seeing the beautifully exposed pile of rock that makes up the Canyon and this changes from every view point you visit. It is interesting to observe how monuments and temples make entrances and exits and change shape as your angle of view varies.
The best places to watch the Grand Canyon sunset and Grand Canyon sunrise are where there are few obstructions to your view. Most of the Grand Canyon view points are located on promontories that stick out from the rim. The perfect spot would be a point that extends out into the canyon far enough that you have a clear view of both east and west.
"The canyon of the Colorado River has become for me a haunting memory, dwarfing all things that I have seen, belittling all the gorges, all the mountains that in the past impressed me."
Burton Holmes, travel writer and lecturer

Pese a su nombre, Bryce Canyon (Utah) no es un caĂ±Ă³n propiamente dicho porque la causante de la erosiĂ³n es la lluvia, que produce estas formaciones llamadas "hoodoos" o chimeneas de hadas.
En el norte del estado de Arizona se encuentra este caĂ±Ă³n llamado de ranura (mĂ¡s profundo que ancho) provocado por el paso del agua.
This is a 7 shot Photo stitch of the Grand Canyon it was quite a clear day when i went some days they said there is quite a lot of haze, i did try to walk out to where that man is but i was to much of a wimp
The "Zebra Slot Canyon" is one of the worthwhile destinations in the "Hole in the Rock Road" area near Escalante, part of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, best in later morning with indirect light.
At the beginning of November 2016 I was again in this canyon, but it was full of brackish, cold water, so I could not reach the photographically interesting area as in the picture.
Der "Zebra Slot Canyon" ist eines der lohnenswerten Ziele im Bereich der Hole in the Rock Road nahe Escalante, Teil des Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Anfang November 2016 war ich erneut in diesem Canyon, der aber voll brackigem, kalten Wasser stand, so dass ich den fotografisch interessanten Bereich wie auf dem Bild nicht erreichen konnte.
Danke fĂ¼r deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

This is the entrance to Box Canyon, Arizona. Series of pictures showing the makeup of the canyon, wonderful 4 whl drive country!
View of Glen Canyon and the Colorado River. This image was taken looking north from the Glen Canyon Dam.
Navajo sandstone forms the canyon walls throughout most of the reservoir basin. The sandstone is remarkably uniform and homogeneous over wide areas and nearly identical samples can be obtained from areas separated by many miles. The Navajo sandstone is buff to reddish, medium to fine-grained, and moderately hard to soft.
Five separate rivers, of varying sizes, feed into and form Lake Powell. These include the Colorado River from Colorado, the Green River from Wyoming, the San Juan River from New Mexico, the Escalante River and Dirty Devil River from Utah.
Thank you for your comments.

I did not book a photo tour ahead of time so unfortunately this was shot hand held with hoards of people. I plan on going back with a scheduled tour.
Upper Antelope Canyon, near Page in northern Arizona. While only recently discovered (in 1931), the Upper Antelope and its counterpart, the Lower Antelope slot canyons, have quickly become must-see attractions in the American Southwest. The ever-changing, colourful sandstone walls and extraordinary shapes and textures are some of the most photogenic natural formations to behold.
