Canyon Sunset

  When visiting the the Grand Canyon you definitely want to view and photograph the beautiful sunsets at the canyon. If staying in town the best way is to take one of the park buses as they can drop you off at a number of good location. I would advise you check out the bus schedule as they are subject to change.
