Pearson and I walked to Mohave Point and watched the light and color change in the canyon as the sun set.

It’s wild to experience the clouds and weather change at the Grand Canyon. We watched as snow flurries moved west to east across the canyon, at times portions were completely obscured by clouds. The weather oscillated between sunny and stormy the whole afternoon.
I never gave the Grand Canyon much thought. I knew it was a remarkable natural wonder, but people expound on it so much that I thought it would be overrated. I was wrong.
As Pearson and I walked up to a lookout at Mather Point, I was awestruck. The sky was blue with puffy white clouds and the canyon was pink and tan and red and brown and green and goes on further than the eye can see. The shadows of the clouds made the view change constantly. It was breathtaking and overwhelming. A photograph doesn’t fully capture the texture, layers, depth, or size of the canyon.
The Grand Canyon is truly majestic and and it is by far the most amazing place I’ve been in the past eight months.
On a cold and snowy morning in late October, Pearson and I got up early to watch the sun rise from Mather Point. It was overcast, but the peaceful dawn was a memorable experience and well worth the chill.
