A beautiful look at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon from the butte.
For most people, a visit to the Grand Canyon is to the south rim rather than the remote north rim, approaching either along US 180 from Flagstaff and the south or AZ 64 from Williams and the west. Both routes cross the largely flat Coconino Plateau which is characterized by typical mountain scenery of broad meadows and pine forests, giving no hint of the great abyss over the horizon. The busy village of Tusayan is located two miles south of the park boundary; it has an airport, shops, hotels, an IMAX cinema and a large, cheapish RV site. Basic, primitive camping is allowed free in the neighboring Kaibab National Forest - closest location to town is along FR 302, on the southeast side of Tusayan, where overnight stays are permitted once a quarter of a mile from the highway. Another suitable track is FR 328, just north of the village.

F/V This is an interesting composition of the canyon. I have bever seen one like it. Great details and color. The blues make a nice accent color with the warm tones.
