Scenic Overlook Overload

Probably the best thing about visiting the park in winter is that you can drive all the way out to the Hermit's Rest on the west end of the south rim, which you can only access via shuttle bus or a seven-mile hike along the rim during the summer.


This is the Lookout Studio, located not far from the Bright Angel Lodge.


Here I'm just attempting some artsy-fartsy kind of shot because by this point I'm thinking how many vista shots can you take?!?!?


Last, but certainly not least, we stopped at the Desert View Lookout Tower before leaving the park at the eastern exit. I made a panorama shot of the view from here, which is included in another post.
