*******************************************

Please bare in mind these images were taken with a digital camera only capable of producing a 500 KB Jpg picture.

The look out points at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon

When taking photos at an altitude at or over 6000 feet you should use a "UV" filter to take out the bluish cast that the Ultra produces.
As you can see I did not because they do not make on one for this inexpensive camera.

Hopi Point

That's "HOPE - E"

*****************************************************************

They call this the SUN SET point because this is where most come at sun set to watch it.

It's also my favorite view point.

*****************************************************

At many of the points you will have at least a 180 degree view of the canyon and at others you will have over a 200 degree view of the canyon.

Here at Hopi Point I would guess you will have at least a 270 degree view of the canyon.

On a clear day you can see almost 100 miles.

The SUN SET

They line up on the edge sitting on the ground.

*********************************

They bring'em in by the bus loads just to view these Hopi Point Sun Sets.

******************************

OK folks get those cameras ready.

****************************************

Off to the North of the sun setting was a big storm brewing.

***************************

And it was coming our way.

***************************************

Rather rapidly

**********************************

*******************************

The view changes every few seconds

***************************************

********************************

Many people walk away/leave before its over.

Not me I stay until it all gone.

One last break through.

Now you'al can go, oops everyone has already left, to bad, they missed the best view of all.
