"Much of my day was a bust photographically; after a morning beneath solid white skies and no contrast to the landscapes in Arches, I headed to Canyonlands with the hope for something better.  Off and on through the afternoon, patches of sky opened up, but it really wasn't until after sunset that any real color developed,  Grand View Point is definitely an afternoon location--probably best about an hour or two before sunset itself, but with the right ""blue hour,"" it can still stand out."
