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

Starting from the East most view points.
However, you choose to view them in any oder you may want to.

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.

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

While driving from point to point keep a sharp look out for;

People walking & biking they have the ride-a-way

Cars pulling out of the points or pulling back onto the road from being parked on the side of the road.

Deer and Elk, you never will know when one may jump out in front of your car. see photos below

Some times they think they are hood ornaments.

NONE of the ABOVE will be looking out for YOU

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

You may not see the Deer but they can be on you in a blink of your eye.

I was lucky these two did not come out into the road.
