# Grand Canyon National Park B-roll Video- Cape Royal Sunset - Time-lapse (8661965788)

This sequence is made up of 3 scenes.:

1) 30 second close-up of the sun setting from Cape Royal. 2) 15 seconds (just after sunset ) a colorful cloud blanket slowly moving. 3) 40 second time-lapse pan from Vishnu Temple past Wotan's Throne onto the setting sun on the horizon. Various clouds are moving across the sky.

Cape Royal 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.

There is no one best place for watching sunrise or sunset, just good places and better places. Download Grand Canyon Sunrise/ Sunset (103kb PDF File) for insider information.
