November 9, 2007 Sunrise at Kings Canyon & Canyon Rim Walk



The photo just doesn't begin to capture the beauty of this morning's sunrise. We boarded the bus to head to Kings Canyon at 4:00 am so we immediately drifted off back to sleep. We awoke to adjust our pillows when we glanced out onto the horizon to a most spectacular sunrise. I couldn't get to my camera in time to capture the brilliant red that was the first break of dawn.

This was the best we could do - but the day was just beginning and Kings Canyon did not disappoint us in any way. A spectacular canyon of beautiful red sandstone was so gorgeous. So much for our eyes to behold. Around every bend there was another spectacular rock formation. The climb was tough - but definitely worth it. The weather cooperated beautifully and we were sprinkled on a couple of times, but all in all we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day!
