Photographer Description of Lipan Point
A panorama taken late in the afternoon from Lipan Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The road up to Lipan Point rises quite steeply, and the point itself gives a good panoramic view along the Canyon, especially towards the east. In this image, the sun had sunk low towards the west, and much of this half of the Grand Canyon is lost in a silhouette.Lipan Point - Further Information
