So you're probably exhausted by this stop.
You'll like this one cause it has a shaded bench facing a great view!
If you are ready for some family friendly hiking in the grand canyon south rim then this could be your starting point.
We parked our car at Grand canyon visitor center and took the Village route bus (Blue bus) to the bright angel trailhead point.
At the bright angel trailhead, you can ride the red bus to Monument creek vista point.
Monument creek vista to the Abyss is a 1 mile trail and offers good views of the canyons.
Restrooms : No
Mobile coverage : No
Note : there might be a longer wait when boarding the Hermits rest route (red) during peak season.
Another great vantage point from which to see the Grand Canyon. This (along with the Abyss) was one of the least crowded viewpoints along the Hermit's Rest route, which was a nice change of pace. The views aren't as nice here as some of the other viewpoints in the park, but they are still pretty incredible
Bench and small railing. Quick stop only
What a great time we had there. Wonderful view and beautiful colors during sunset. It is a must visit when you are at Grand Canyon South Rim. Just park at the visitor center and enjoy some marvelous views all around the rim behind the visitor center. For sure we will come back to explore even more the canyons. Thanks National Park rangers for the great work done there. We had a ball there. So much fun and good memories to take home.
dress for the weather! it's always nice and clean park rangers have always been nice and friendly (I'm sure I'm bothering them so I training myself to keep it short) the views are breathtaking everyone should visit atleast twice lol
Yavapai point provides spectacular views of the Grand Canyon and a fitting place for the geology museum. Sheer walls look deep into the canyon. Easy paved trails link to other nearby locations. Definitely worth a stop by itself or on the way somewher
35 per car...llots of different spots to see drive to around the Grand Canyon to see different views of it... definitely a must see pictures do not do it justice.
Within the Grand Canyon National Park, this is a large turnout, stopping point along the South Rim Trail. This particular vantage point is a gorgeous, large viewing area that is a must see within the park. It is accessible by hiking, personal vehic
Third major checkpoint youâll come across on your descent down. Personally it was underwhelming for the entire journey we took, but couldnât go wrong with the exceptional views from all sides and the entire way through. Took my friend and I about
Went here early November to watch the sunset over the canyon- so happy we chose this spot! There were only about 4-5 other couples/families there so we had the place basically to ourselves and the panoramic view once you got to the area jutting out p
What a beautiful trail! I did a very casual and short hike because the rest of the trail was closed as of December 2023 due to a waterline renovation project. The views are so spectacular and much better than those of the many overlooks. No camera ca
This trail is very long and we only hiked a few 1-4 mile sections. Good views. One cloud hike it east to west and take a shuttle back from the end.
Itâs far easier than the trails that go down as at some point, you must go up!
We did parts in AM,
Fantastic view!
We did a day hike to Plateau Point from Bright Angel Lodge. I would not recommend the average person do the same. We were sore for more than a day after and Iâd like to think weâre pretty fit people.
We started around 8am and go
Moran Point in Arizona is an absolute gem that deserves a glowing five-star rating! This hidden treasure offers some of the most breathtaking and lesser-known views of the Grand Canyon, making it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and ad
Second major checkpoint youâll come across on your descent down this trail. Decently spaced area to walk around and absorb the view. Met lots of friendly faces here. The climb down can be a little difficult cause of the slippery rocks, but the asce
This is a beautiful overlook about halfway between Grand Canyon Village and Desert View. The parking area isn't huge, so you may not be able to find a spot at busy times. There is an area specifically for hiker overnight parking, but it's not exclusi
This is one of the best beginner friendly trails in the Grand Canyon National Park. I have been here on 2 occasions - once in dry scorching heat and one in cold wet rain and it was a breeze to complete this trail each time. The trail is also one of t
I don't think we should even be able to rate something like the Grand Canyon. What is there to say? It's absolutely huge and gorgeous. The south rim is a dog friendly paved trail! Highly recommend going to the south rim if you're traveling with a dog
