Our final view of the Grand Canyon came right at sunset. Alisha and I had finished up our forty mile backpacking adventure across the Grand Canyon that very day, and had stuck around to get in a few more views of the Big Ditch before we began our journey home. We, along with a hoard of other tourists, hung out at one of the canyon overlooks as the sun began to set, each one of us determined to see the canyon glow as the light died from the sky. The evening seemed to linger at first, but time seemed to speed up as the sun neared the horizon. In a few short minutes, it was over. The sun had diped below the distant canyon rim, the light faded quickly from the sky, and it was time for my sister and I to leave the Grand Canyon and all of its adventures behind. We'll be back, though, ready to take on another epic journey. Maybe next time we'll see the canyon from the river.
Leave me a comment below and tell me about an epic sunset you've witnessed. Where was it?
