13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Magical Misty mountains in the grand canyon.

For two weeks I traveled throughout the west coast. My journey started in San Francisco and ended in Arizona. This picture of the Grand Canyon represents the epitome of my journey. It was rainy and cloudy day. It also hailed. I couldn't resist and had to take a picture! So I got out of my car and snapped it. It was totally worth it. I feel like the clouds amplified the beauty of the Grand Canyon.
