The Lipan Point overlook's west-facing orientation makes it the perfect place to catch a stunning Grand Canyon sunset. The overlook is accessible by private car or Park Service shuttle bus. More

This is a great Grand Canyon viewpoint along the East Rim Drive close to another great one, Desert View. We visited there in March and it was not crowded, a lot of parking space.
