Hmmmm - excellent! Magnificent sky - that really makes the photo! Very often people forget when shooting landscapes that one of the crucial elements is... the sky.
I agree with previous comment that horizon should not be in the middle - I've made that mistake myself many times. Now the problem is - where do you move it, up or down? You don't want to cut out the canyon, but you don't want to crop that great sky either! Tough choice, I guess maybe on the spot, through the lens, it's easier to make this decision.
Yes, colors are muted and hazy, but I don't think there is anything you could have done differently photographically - this is properly exposed. Any more and you would have blown out the sky. So either shoot at a different time of day (not easy, it's not like this view is from your backyard, I know) or maybe a GND filter?
Now, this problem can be somewhat solved in Photoshop. I will give it a quick go later and see if the beautiful tones and textures in the rock can be brought back to life.
Great shot.

Edit: oh, and the close-up rock in the bottom left contributes more to the balance and "impact" of the image than it would seem at first glance.
