Sunrise illuminates a snow coverd Mather Point at the Grand Canyon. One of the first canyon overlooks that visitors coming into the park through the south entrance will encounter. Visitors getting their first glimpse of the Canyon here can marvel at the 10 mile distance between where they are standing and the North Rim, gaze into the mile-deep abyss, ponder the power of the Colorado River snaking below, and admire the colorful Kaibab Limestone, Coconino Sandstone, and Vishnu Schist rock layers that are visible.
