Grand Canyon's Sunset and Rainbow

GC%20sunset%202.jpg

We drove to Cape Royal in the Grand Canyon North Rim National Park to watch the sunset. We walked the short trail to the panoramic viewpoint across the canyon. We were not sure if we'd have luck with a clear sunset or not, it had been raining on and off, and overall cloudy. But as we got to the viewpoint, the clouds started shifting a bit to our favor, and we had a magical sunset view. As we were walking back to the car, we turn around, and a beautiful rainbow over the arch called Angles Window. It was a blessed evening.

Hi again, this is a test. Just wanted to see if I was able to leave a comment. I'm still not able to publish anything on my own blog. I sure hope it's fixed soon!

Happy Wednesday!

Lucky you to see not only a great sunset but a rainbow! Beautiful photos :)

Love your photos! Sunsets in the American SW are so amazingly beautiful. They bring tears to my eyes, to see such beauty.

Stunning shots of the sunset and the rainbow! What wondrous beauty there is in this world of ours, and how blessed I am to share so many glimpses of far off places through my blog friends. Thanks for these wonderful images, Candi.
