For some reason Powell Point took my breath away completely. I just burst into tears at the sight of everything around me. So gorgeous!
Started at Mohave Point, hiked east to Hopi Point and then ended at Powell Point - all in all an easy 1 mile hike. Fairly flat on a well established dirt path that gets you very close to the rim for many incredible views. Best of all there are lots of benches and picnic tables along the way to stop...

this is one of the many viewpoints. they all have easy accessability. you can walk as much or as little as you choose.
The sunset here was lovely and you can walk a very exciting hike very near the edge to Hope Pt; about 6/10 mile I think. I loved that hike.
The Powell Memorial at this viewpoint commemorates the 1869 and 1871-72 exploratory trips down the Colorado River by Major Powell and expedition crews... the best thing about this point is that we get to see the Colorado river along with the view of the canyon and it's GREAT!!... not many people linger around here as this is not hyped like...

There are really not bad places along the rim. But this might be a cut above the rest. Some walking and climbing stairs required
Go here for sunrise.. Not Hopi Point. My boyfriend and I were visting the GC in August. We hopped on an early morning bus to watch the sunset. we decided to get off at Powell point while the rest of our full bus carried on to Hopi. We ended up being the ONLY people here. It was perfect.
We got up extremely early to get the first bus to this point and we were not disappointed. Once the sun comes up you immediately feel the warmth of the rays and wish you could stay there forever. There are other people there but you feel so alone and peaceful in the canyons. A great place to meditate
THis was a very good view of the Canyon and the Colorado River. Great photo opportunity. This is a popular site to visit and it is also a transfer point for the FREE Shuttle to go back to the main village. Shuttle runs about every 10 minutes.
Visit ever point because every one is unique and every one is beautiful in its on special way, we took every road to every point and took hundreds of photo's as a result....
