We drove to the Grand Canyon in a rental car from Vegas. "We" that is my old parents and I. We don't gamble, drink, or do hookers, so we didn't really like Vegas very much. (Stop! Hold your horses. It's a joke. I know there's other things you can do in Las Vegas. It's a joke.)

We arrived at the canyon before sunset and the setting sun hit it so beautifully from above. The colors were incredible.

We were gonna just spend the night and drive back first thing in the morning. But then we said to ourselves, we don't like Vegas, the Grand Canyon looked awesome. So we went back the next morning and spend more time there, just driving along the rim and stopping every now and then to let the impressions sink in.

With the sun on the opposite side now than the night before, it looked totally different.

This was all part of a longer road trip, and the Grand Canyon was definitely one of the highlights.
