ALT Silhouetted in darkness, a park ranger wearing a flat campaign hat stands with their hands on their hips as they stare off into the distance at the forefront of the image. To their left stands a large telescope, who's large lens is tilted up at an angle, pointed toward the encroaching darkness. Beyond the rolling horizon, the sun has set, leaving a warm glow of orange and white light. Shades of blue from light to dark push down on the setting sunlight like a curtain.

ALT A multicolored podium stands on the edge of a canyon rim. Tan rocks and shrub plants surround the wooden base, a large, twisted Utah Juniper trunk peaks over a clump of tall grass. Beyond the podium and canyon rim lies a landscape of deep gorges, flat plateaus and a towering butte formation. A light blue sky rises above the scene.
