October 22, 2008 - Sunset at Yaki Point, Part 1

We took the shuttle bus to the visitors center where we changed buses to Yaki Point for the sunset.

This bus had to slow down for elk:

There were a couple bulls but they were in the shadows.

We also saw a ringtail cat, but it was just a blur.

Yaki Point:

The sun is getting low:

Detail of the canyon:

This is the same detail with the contrast turned up to show why photographers like sunset light.

Looking across:

Just before sunset a bus came and people piled out to view the sunset, taking the best spots.  Many of these photos show the people watching.

Impressive:
