Description
Along the South Rim Trail west of Yavapai Point, a sunset overtakes Grand Canyon National Park. The faint, eerie orb of the sun can be seen preparing to dip below the horizon, about to shroud the chasm in gradual darkness. Smoke fills the canyon from the 2020 California Wildfires, adding depth and layers to the landscape and a tint of purple. The lush juniper and pinyon trees surrounding in the foreground seem to be enjoying the show. The American Southwest has so many diverse and unique landscapes, but nothing compares to the Grand Canyon at sunset.
