Beautiful picture! Seeing the Grand Canyon in person is the biggest "pictures don't do it justice" scenario I've ever been in. It's impossible to describe the sheer scale of it.

Thanks! It was incredible in person, though a bit hazy due to the nearby wildfire smoke at the time this was taken in the summer of 2021. Made the farther reaches of the canyon hard to see, I think it's actually a bit clearer in this photo than I remember it looking person.
