OGDEN — Miranda Menzies, of Eden, likes to admire the sunset from a rowboat on Great Salt Lake, and because she’d rather not have an oil derrick blocking her view, she’s interested in how Utah manages the lake.

Cape Royal on the North Rim provides a panorama up, down, and across the canyon. With seemingly unlimited vistas to the east and west, it is popular for both sunrise and sunset. The sweeping turn of the Colorado River at Unkar Delta is framed through the natural arch of Angels Window. Look for the Desert View Watchtower across the canyon on the South Rim. This popular viewpoint is accessible via a paved, level trail. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn
