"Another golden hour hotspot, the sun setting on the vast, layered rock formations ... scores it an impressive sunset score of 79.6 out of 100," the rankings noted. The write-up adds that sunsets here "offer something particularly special. The enormous canyon walls, with all their layers, radiate golden exuberance when the sun hits them," with travelers recommending locations like the South Rim or Mather Point to watch the sun go down." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
