This morning would be my last chance to photograph at Desert View. Shelley and I departing the Grand Canyon for Page AZ. We ate breakfast and loaded up the vehicle for what was to be the longest driving day of the trip.

As the light was fading in the afternoon of day two of our trip Shelley and I found our selves near Yavapai point. We were walking along the South Rim trail near the Yavapai Geological Museum and Bookstore.

We arrived at Mather point it was filled with people who were in the Park for just the day. It and Desert View were the two busiest points of interest during Shelley and I’s stay in Grand Canyon National Park.

Shelley and I arrived next at Lipan Point. We were still scouting for a sunset location on day two. I must say that Lipan Point is one of my favorite overlooks into the Grand Canyon.

While Shelley and I were out on day two scouting for locations we stopped at Navajo Point. I was looking to compose a photograph that would include Desert View Tower

Shelley and I began our second day at the Grand Canyon by driving from the Grand Canyon Village all the way to the Desert View entrance to the park on the Eastern end of the South Rim. My thinking was to drive as far as Desert View that morning.
