Much of the rim is not easily accessible but worth walking around the trees for a sunset through the North Rim forest.
Yet the trees frame the sky and canyon.
Tip toeing through the golden grasses to observe the golden view.
Aspen glow in the last light.
While Ponderosa deepens into shadow.
The sky takes on the colors of the canyon walls in the fading light.
Me and the moon, watching the show.

Wow, beautiful!!!
Thanks Yogi, and for this week’s number. Hope you’ll join in again, and that more folks will play along and link in.
Wow – what magnificent shots.
Thanks. The canyon provides a perfect setting.
Gaelyn, looks lovely. Not difficult when you have the Canyon to help with the light and compositions. 🙂
Thanks. Most photos of the canyon can be Grand.
Simply beautiful, Gaelyn. Clouds, a sunset, plus that incredible canyon…Mother Nature at her best!
Running a close second to those dramatic Cascades.
Really gorgeous…and right outside your door, I think! 😉
Yes, you were there.
Spectacular sunset.
Thanks Rajesh.

Stunning pictures Gaelyn. What magnificent sights to see. I just love the colours.
Thanks. Sunset colors here often mimic the canyon colors.
totally awesome. beautiful images.
Thank you.
Love these .. I wonder if the moon’s view from above is different from yours! Definitely worth the difficult walk, if you are able to do it!
I’d love to see the canyon and sunset from the moon’s perspective.
The colors painted across the evening sky are gorgeous. There’s nothing more breath-taking than to see such splendor. You were in a great location to capture the moment. I liked how the trees framed the sunset. Someday, I would like to venture out west to see Grand Canyon amongst other scenic wonders. Lovely SWF contribution!
I love being so close to the rim for sunset. Everybody should see the Grand Canyon. Hope you make it.
Wonderful photos as always. Liquid gold for the eyes. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks. The canyon is like gold to me.
Stunning natural framing with those shots!
Thanks Freda. Figured I should take advantage of the forest.
So beautifully framed by the forest!
Thanks Laura. I liked the way the trees framed the canyon too.
