We arrived at the Grand Canyon National Park just before noon. It was pretty mobbed, but we found a parking spot near our hotel and headed out to take photos and enjoy the scenery. We visited last year on Labor Day weekend and it was overflowing with people. This year was better. We headed out to grab the Red shuttle bus which goes west from the village toward Hermit's Rest, a route that was new to us. We had nice sunny weather and spent 3 1/2 hours exploring out that way. I have to admit that the view of the canyon doesn't change all that as you go along the rim. We took quite a few pictures, but that became a little repetitive after a while. I experimented with a polarizing lens and had some lick. There is a lot to be learned. In the evening we headed to the rim again to watch the sunset. There was quite a bit of haze that interfered with the photography. I would like to return in the winter and try photography in the cold clear air. This is a photo that Ginny took. It is very nice.
