It rained most of the way there and was very overcast when I arrived. However the forecast was for it to break mid-morning. And it did. 

I drove back roads (hwy 180 to 64) all the way there. Here’s a shot from along the way. 

  The sun was just beginning to light the horizon. 

Here are a few shots of the Canyon. I’m going back tomorrow for more.   

Wow! Once the clouds broke it really was breathtaking. 

Meanwhile I’m enjoying a great campfire and some Irish whiskey at 10X national park for the night. 

Ciao for now.
