When we first visited the Grand Canyon’s south rim, I completely underestimated the scale of the place. I had a whole list of places earmarked for photographs but only later realized the amount of time needed to get from one point to the other. A lot of the photos we took on our first trip ended up being from the spots near the visitor center.
Mather Point is one of the easiest spots to reach from the visitor center and it provides a nice panoramic glimpse into the magic that is Grand Canyon. Yavapai point nearby has a better view but Mather point is easy to get to when racing against time to get a sunrise shot. The sunlight was peaking through as we were setting up. The sunrise is always magical at a canyon even where there is not much drama in the sky. The light was pouring over the canyon rim and creating fantastic drama against the shadows.
