A rare cloud inversion makes the Grand Canyon look downright mystical

Nature does some crazy things, but here’s one we haven’t seen before.

On Thursday, a very particular set of conditions aligned at Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park to give spectators quite the sight: The ground of the canyon was cooler than the air above, causing a thick layer of fog to form, filling up the 1,900 square mile attraction like a burbling witch’s cauldron.

We’re not sure if visitors there that day would have been delighted by the rare cloud inversion or irritated that they couldn’t see deep into the reddish canyon’s natural beauty, but one thing’s for sure: They won’t get a view like this just any old day of the week.
