But when they are doing controlled burning in the area, your visibility is limited. Looking in the opposite direction, the whole bottom of the canyon was covered with smoke, which was disappointing, but I suppose that it's a necessary evil. Better than a huge, uncontrollable forest fire, for sure!

Incidentally, Hopi Point is the best place to shoot on the South Rim, since you can shoot both East and West. It is one of the stops on the shuttle bus (you can't drive there) and you only have to walk about 1/4 of a mile to get back to the shuttle pickup stop that will take you back to the transfer station. After sunset, the shuttle bus is standing room only, so plan accordingly.
