Saw sunrise - but faces east. It was a little cloudy so didn't get full effect but words cannot describe the beauty and vastness of it all.

gem Favorite Sunrise from the Watchman Overlook. The sun lights up the peaks on the opposite side of the valley. Definitely worth getting up there in the morning for this great view.
