Hopi Point - Grand Canyon National Park, AZ - an overlook providing the widest view of the Grand Canyon

Hopi Point located in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park is the fourth stop for the shuttle bus traveling on the wet rim. It is the northernmost point on the south rim here and the point where a great deal more of the Grand Canyon's western portion can be seen.

The Havasupai Point and Great Scenic Divide can both be seen from the Hopi Point. The point which is next to the road has a fenced in viewing area. The Dana Butte is centered below a vista in the canyon. Dana Butte which is 2,000 feet under the overlook is a flat mesa. To one side the Salt Creeks meets the rapids of the Colorado River.

The other side of the Hopi Point finds the Granite Rapids at the place where Monument Creek meets the river. The North Rim opposite of Hopi Point has a group of mesa on both sides of the Trinity Creek named for Egypt's ancient figures. Clarence Dutton who was a geologist and writer named these along with a number of other features in the Grand Canyon during the 1880's.

Hopi Point allows you to take advantage of the widest view of the Grand Canyon making it ideal if you have limited time to view the canyon.
