Capturing The Canyons From Above

Allegiant Flight 433 from Moline, Illinois to Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday afternoon, September 6, 2013 provided these views of Glen Canyon (top) and Grand Canyon (middle & bottom image). The Glen Canyon image was shot at 2:48 MDT and the Grand Canyon images at 3:00 and 3:02 MDT. The views of the Grand Canyon were located at its NNW region, about 20 miles south of the Utah border. Our aircraft was cruising at around 35,000 feet, well above the cumulus clouds seen below.
