Incredible Video Shows The Grand Canyon Like You’ve Never Seen It Before

On rare occasions the Grand Canyon sees a full cloud inversion occur, and thankfully videographer Harun Mehmedinovic was on hand to film the beauty.

The Grand Canyon is famous around the world for its beauty, with those sunrise pictures a favourite across social media.

What you don’t see very often is the Grand Canyon filled to the brim with clouds – kind of like an inverse Table Mountain tablecloth.

Not really, but you get where I’m going with that.

Arizona Central below:

The video shows a full cloud inversion, which is when cold air gets trapped close to the ground by a layer of warm air, and the moisture turns into condensation, creating a sea of thick fog.

Clouds swirl and push up against the Canyon’s Rim as if it were a sea shore. Those standing on the Rim feel as if they are walking on clouds.

We have photographer and videographer Harun Mehmedinovic to thank for this one – very soothing, as an added bonus:

Harun described the experience:

“It’s kind of like another planet, practically, the way it looks,” he said…

“That was purely luck, to be honest,” he said [of filming the cloud inversion]. “You didn’t feel the depth of the Canyon because the fog reached basically the Rim, so it got up as high as where I was standing. It was a little surreal”…

“I found it a little funny, seeing the tours coming by, all of them were really angry they couldn’t see the Canyon and I kept telling them, ‘What you’re seeing here is so much cooler,’ ” Mehmedinovic said, laughing.

That reminds me of some of the tourists who visit our national parks, overlook something like a pangolin sighting, and complain they didn’t see a buffalo.

There’s no pleasing some people.
