Exactly 4 years ago (2013) in december, over the weekend, something incredibly rare happened at Grand Canyon National Park. The photos you will see below were taken from Mather Point. Tourists may have been disappointed that they weren't able to see the Colorado river because the bottom of the canyon was covered in fluffy clouds. We just hope their disappointment wasn't as severe when they realized they were witnessing an extremely rare weather phenomenon. For the second time in three days.
Because of a rare change in the atmosphere, the clouds were forced down into the Grand Canyon's valley.
The result was absolutely stunning, amazing park rangers and tourists alike.
On average, inversions happen once or twice a year
Cloud waterfalls are a sight rangers wait years to see..
But then (december), the Grand Canyon has experienced two inversions.
Some of the tourists might have been disappointed not to see the bottom of the canyon...
However, they probably didn't realize this fog is quite the rare occurrence.
Inversions happen all over the world, but to see one happening so perfectly in the Grand Canyon is rare.
Once people realized what was happening, they rushed for pictures.
All we can do is stare in wonder, Mother Nature really outdid herself this holiday weekend.
