This morning we woke up at 4:25 to catch the sunrise over Horseshoe Bend at Glen Canyon national recreation area. The sunrise was pretty, but it didn’t rise over the canyon. The visitor viewing point faced horseshoe bend (west) and the sun rose over the plain to the east. So after the sun rose, we watched the colors of the rocks at horseshoe bend light up a pretty pink. To watch the sun light up all of horseshoe bend would take at least another hour, so we bailed.

Big D went back to bed while the rest of us had breakfast.
