THE BIG CHILL

A PORTFOLIO EDITED BY JEFF KIDA AND KEITH WHITNEY

PRECEDING PANEL: A snowy Grand Canyon greets the rising sun in a view from Yavapai Point, northeast of Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim. The trail visible in this photo is the Plateau Point Trail, which is closed until March 2025 for replacement of the pipeline that supplies water to the South Rim. CLAIRE CURRAN CANON EOS 5DS R, 1/5 SEC, F/20, ISO 200, 24 MM LENS LEFT: Soft winter light graces Isis Temple as a storm clears from the Canyon. This view is from the Rim Trail, a mostly paved, 13-mile route that runs from the South Kaibab Trailhead to Hermits Rest. ADAM SCHALLAU FUJIFILM GFX100S, 1/13 SEC, F/8, ISO 100, 48.8 MM LENS RIGHT: With Zuni Point in the distance, Moran Point, along the South Rim's Desert View Drive, offers a look at the Canyon filled with clouds. This relatively rare phenomenon, known as an inversion, happens when cold air below the rim is trapped by warmer air above it. ADAM SCHALLAU

PRECEDING PANEL: Heavy snow and low clouds dominate a winter view from the South Rim's Mather Point. This overlook is where many South Rim visitors get their first view into the Canyon. CLAIRE CURRAN CANON EOS 5DS R, 1/50 SEC, F/16, ISO 100, 24 MM LENS ABOVE: A gnarled tree at Yavapai Point wears a heavy blanket of snow as it punctuates a view into the Canyon's depths. Yavapai Point is an easy walk northwest from Mather Point. CLAIRE CURRAN FUJIFILM GFX100S, 1/100 SEC. F/16. ISO 200, 66.3 MM LENS

PRECEDING PANEL: Heavy snow and clouds shroud the Grand Canyon at sunrise, as seen from a spot on the Rim Trail between Mather and Yavapai points. On average, the South Rim receives about 5 feet of snow per year. ADAM SCHALLAU SONY ALPHA 7R III, 1 SEC, F/16, ISO 100, 19 MM LENS BELOW: Trees, hoodoos and the Canyon's walls wear a blanket of snow in morning light at the South Rim's Grandview Point. This scenic spot east of Grand Canyon Village was the site of the Grandview Hotel in the late 1800s and early 1900s. CLAIRE CURRAN CANON EOS 5D MARK III, 1/6 SEC, F/22, ISO 100, 45 MM LENS RIGHT: The setting sun lights the tops of the Canyon's buttes in a view from snowy Yavapai Point. This overlook is home to the Yavapai Geology Museum, which provides an overview of the Canyon's rock layers. ADAM SCHALLAU CANON EOS 5DS R, 1/8 SEC, F/16, ISO 100, 33 MM LENS
