This month’s Wanderlust post is from a friend I made at Photo Field Trip, Greg Balkin of Brightwood Photography. You may have seen his work when I shared his photos from a hike in the Cascade Mountain Range. The photos above are from Toroweap Overlook at the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It’s on the northern side, away from the more touristy parts of the park. The Grand Canyon is a place I’ve never been, but always wanted to go. Sometimes I dream of a western United States road trip that includes a stop here.

To see more of Greg’s amazing work, please visit his website Brightwood Photography.

    Incredibly gorgeous! I’ve lived on the west coast for two years and still haven’t made it to the Grand Canyon. These photos make me want to schedule that trip. Hope you have a wonderful day!

    How sad is it that I’ve lived in Arizona for 6 years now and still have never been to the Grand Canyon? I really need to plan a trip especially since it isn’t that far!

    These are so good, I definitely need to check out his other photos. I went on a month long camping trip in high school and we stayed in all of the larger National Parks out west. My memory of staying at the Grand Canyon is pretty strong because we all decided to sleep out on our tarps under the stars rather than in our tents and I was amazed at how gorgeous that was. Such a beautiful place. The squirrels are also very used to tourists here and will come right up to you and beg for treats! (Tourists are bad, haha.) You definitely need to check it out! Now I want to go back, too! 🙂

    Greg’s photos are sick! (Sick as in awesome, not hurling-wise). I’m definitely going to be visiting the Grand Canyon at some point during our stay here in California.
