Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA. With paths along the south rim connecting many of the viewing points, it is good to walk to less pedestrian spots to find beautiful views of the canyon. At an elevation of 6,800 to 7,400 feet above sea level, and in a desert climate, the vast scale of the canyon creates its own weather systems, allowing for forested land on the plateau, with tree growth up to the edge of the canyon. In the distance are several of the temple rock formations.

There's so many layers here, they seem to just go on and on, and I love the gnarled and twisted cedar branches in the foreground. They add to the "worked over" feel of the landscape. You did well in finding one of those less pedestrian positions.

Really spectacular scene Thad - I've flown over it several times and looked down but have never been there.
