A few weeks ago I was flying from to Orange County on an afternoon flight. I had a window seat, so when the pilot announced we were flying over the Grand Canyon as we passed through Arizona, I instantly slammed by window shade open to soak in the views. We were lucky, it was a gorgeous afternoon in Mid-October with nice clear skies, so we had great views. Unfortunately my good camera was in the overhead bin, so I had to take these using my iPhone 4.

If you’re flying this route, or another similar one, be sure to keep your eye out for the Grand Canyon from the window, it’s an awesome site. These are the best of the photos I got, click on them for larger versions. Enjoy!
