First trip to the Grand Canyon. It was a marvelous experience except for the 5 hour bus ride to and from and the 97 degree temperature. July is not the best time to visit! It was amazing to photograph the Canyon. You would walk 40 feet and be able to capture an entire fresh view. The smoke in the distance of some shots is a controlled burn on the west rim. The shots taken from the helicopter were the highlight of my trip. It was only a 20 minute flight, but it's one I'll never forget! Beautiful!
