The Grand Canyon That Few Ever See

The Grand Canyon’s pinks, violets and reds were painted by nature six million years ago. Landscape painter Bill Cramer eternalizes these same hues on his canvas, using the holy grail of the United States’ great outdoors – at a record 5.5m visitors in 2015 – as the main inspiration for his artistic work.

Artists like Cramer are helping raise money for a museum that will include a massive collection of paintings and artefacts currently stowed away in warehouses at the South Rim.
