If the weather permits, there is a GREAT photo op just down the road from the railroad tracks. (Black Canyon road) that offers a STUNNING shot of the sunset. (about 1 mile from this location) http://gallery.photo.net/photo/6449852-md.jpg
(picture does not do the view justice)
Bring a couple bucks if you need to park in the parking lot.
Not bad, Steve88W! We may hit that. I think with our start time at 3:30, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy the primary destination, before the sun sets. Then, for those that want to change location, we can go over there and shoot the sunset.
We all arrived on time, and congregated in the parking lot. At about 3:35, we started wandering into the park. We quickly grouped up for a nice group photo, (to be processed shortly), and then off we went.
Within minutes, the rain started coming down. First in just a few drops here and there. Then, it legitimately opened up.
Bats might be seen during dusk too. (bring a flash)
