My hike of the Navajo Loop and Queens Garden Trail was everything I hoped it would be. After a quick trip for some ice cream at Sunrise Point, I returned to Sunset Point for its namesake event.
Oddly (to me), Sunset Point faces east. I've yet to see the sun set in the east.
That said, the overlook provides a nice reminder that you don't have to be looking directly into the sun to enjoy a sunset. There was nice soft color in the sky, clouds, and rock formations.
A restful night's sleep later, I was the first person at Sunrise Point to await
its signature moment.
I had somewhat higher hopes for this, given that I was, in fact, facing the sun.
And ultimately I do feel like this was the more striking view, well worth the early start to the day. Next up would be another hike in the hoodoos!
