Having done a guided tour of the Grand Canyon by train and bus, we visited it again a couple of days later in our truck; just an hour drive from the campground. This time, we went later in the day, to catch the sunset.

Here’s the canyon from the South Rim Village area:

Back at Mather Point for the sunset, and some nice alpenglow:

A magical experience.
