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.
Hermits Rest Point
*****************************************************************
This is the last stop on the west rim view point tour.
This is where the tour buses all have to turn around and head back.
*****************************************************
Remember now, you are in a forest with wild life so always be on the look out for them.
This fellow jumped out from the side of the road and ran off into the woods before I could get my camera out.
***************************************
This is the first thing you will see as you get off the tour bus.

Let's take a walk over to that fence and take a look at the canyon from here.
********************************
That's a much view over the fence than through the fence.

OK, let's see what this Hermit's Rest is.
************************************
As I got down to the building's entrance I just could not resist this one view.
***************************
There were log benches along the canyon wall for folks to sit on and view the canyon.

***************************
As you walk in side this is the first view that you will see.

******************************
There also is a walk up snack window a little farther down the walkway.
***********************************
Well, I guess we had better head back up the path because it is getting late and I don't want to miss the sun set.
The sun sets are mostly viewed from Hopi Point, however you choose your own view point.
***********************************
One last look before we leave Hermits Rest.
**************************************
