This past Sunday, visitors clustered along the South Rim to enjoy a rousing display of lightning and rainbows; likely the final boisterous storm of the monsoon season. With the close of the summer rains, the transition to autumn has officially begun. Family vacations are succumbing to school schedules, and both temperatures and park visitation numbers are trending lower.

It’s hard to imagine a more wonderful segue into the holiday season than combining the Canyon’s stellar views with these inspiring art traditions.
