Yaki Point, Grand Canyon, Arizona

It was my first trip to the Grand Canyon. It’s impressive, but oddly smaller than I thought. Considering all of the places with no railings, my best advice if you go there is, don’t fall in.

“Rowena Crest, November 2017.”

It’s one of my favoite spots, but it’s a hard subject to get a good picture of. It’s prone to high winds and blank skies, neither of which are conducive to photography. I got lucky on this day.
