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 cañón propiamente dicho porque la causante de la erosión es la lluvia, que produce estas formaciones llamadas "hoodoos" o chimeneas de hadas.

En el norte del estado de Arizona se encuentra este cañón llamado de ranura (más 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 für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Under a blue sky decorated with clouds, evergreen trees reach for sunlight between the narrow walls of hoodoos covered in snow in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

The Colorado River on a clear day with clear water, and the CPL revealing the algae growth in the river bed.
A view here at the beginning of the Grand Canyon.
Shadows being cast there in the foreground are from the moon overhead in the pre-dawn capture at Bryce Canyon as I was preparing my hike down into the canyon for sunrise ... paused here for several minutes to take this capture in the low light. Captured at ISO 400 to keep the exposure to two minutes, and not longer, as I was eager to continue the hike.
