Interesting Viewpoint
Aug 2019
I decided to stop at this point on my way to Desert View Watchtower. This point was accompanied by some history of early tourists and a copper mine. I read the bulletin board and was impressed with the history. There is also a trail that starts off from this point. I walked a bit down to get better views which was a great way to get more views. Honestly, there are no bad views along the South Rim points. Just take your time absorbing the views and enjoy the points you can stop at because there is no wrong point.

Outstanding. No. 1 thing to see before you die!
Aug 2023 • Family
We arrived late afternoon and saw the canyon as the light was fading. We had booked the 1/2 hour helicopter flight early next morning which was unfortunately was cancelled due to cloud cover in the canyon. We went back and saw the canyon as the cloud came and went which was spectacular and eerie. I’d say visiting the Grand Canyon is the No 1 thing to do before you die.

Nice viewpoint
Mar 2022
A great place to see some really nice views. There were some trees in the upper area though that block some of the best views. It was very busy at this viewpoint, but we were able to find a place to enjoy the views without being bothered by the crowds.

History of the old mines
Aug 2021
This is a great stop! You will learn a lot of history about the old mines that exist down below in the canyon. You can also hike down into the canyon here. If you are prepared for an overnighter, you can hike all the way down to the bottom of the canyon, camp at the bottom, and then explore the old mines, and hike back up the next day. A great experience for those without kids or pets!

Very interesting
May 2022
This is a lookout point along the Eastern part of the South Rim. You require a vehicle to get here as NP does not provide shuttle service.
This used to be the most popular place in the park circa 1900. There was a hotel and trailhead of Grandview trail. The hotel is long gone but the trail is still available.

The most appropriate name
Apr 2021
This is part of the awesome Desert view drive on the south rim. The parking here is abundant. The walk to the view is very short and the view does open in a Grand fashion.
You can walk down a little bit and see some more awesome views. Be careful not to get too close to the edge, I saw some Instagram hungry people doing some really stupidly dangerous things. There are lots of safe picture opportunities, just relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
Don't miss this.

Night visit
Jul 2020
We wanted to experience the Grand Canyon during all the times of day. We drove here at pitch black dark to look over everything and it was amazing. The moon was beautiful, seeing the canyon in darkness. Itw as perfect.

Stunning View
Oct 2020
Along East Rim Drive. Beautiful observation point and well worth making the drive out here for a different view of the Canyon. Make sure to drive on to Moran Point which is even better

First Stop!
Apr 2021
This was our first stop from driving into the Grand Canyon from the south end. Amazing view are here and there is even a hiking trail here we started it and was on it for about a half an hour BUT we found it to be narrow and the gravel was very loose sooo we quickly turned around. hahaha Not a place you want to slip and fall.

Go see it
Nov 2022
This is one of the overlooks on the East road. Its maybe 15 min from the visitors center. Limited parking. The site of an old hotel and the first major tourist area of the park until the railroad was completed. Worth the stop.
