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
Another great point on the South Rim Trail towards Hermit's Rest. This viewpoint is accessible both by the walking path and by bus, so it's very easy to reach. However, I suggest walking here to enjoy all this Nature beauty. Great spot to take (safely) pictures on the edge of the cliff.
While the whole Grand Canyon is spectacular, Powell Point has views to so many different shape and color rock formation, it is incredible. I have also noticed that there are usually less people there, so if you want to relax and enjoy the scenes, head to Powell Point.
Paved road. Easy to walk on. Great view
Une des plus belle vue du grand canyon
A beautiful spot to watch the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. The Shuttles run every 30 mins this early, so plan ahead. We had the entire spot for ourselves when we got there around 5:30 am. I was able to set up in different places to capture the sunrise and then walked to Hopi point. Photos taken with Pixel6a
Awesome viewing area with spectacular views in every direction. We visited in late March and the temperature was perfect. We enjoyed mid 60’s with almost cloudless skies. Grateful to not be subjected to the summer inferno. Great tour guides around with plenty of information to share about the Park and the sights. No shortage of history in this park. Amazing to see millions and millions of years of geological progression all in one spot.
Awesome view of the canyon on the red shuttle line. Most of these stops are pretty similar. It's hard to explain the view but I feel like your eyes struggle to comprehend just how incredible this canyon is with pictures. Even being physically there my eyes still couldn't figure out what was going on. Absolutely mind boggling the vastness of this place and this viewpoint really shows that!
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
