Grandeur Point - Grand Canyon National Park, AZ - a remote point overlooking the trails and nature of the Grand Canyon

Grandeur Point located in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park can be found a half mile to the west of Yavapai Observation Station. The station is on the South Rim of the Canyon. The area is remote and the view amazing since the entire Bright Angel Trail can be seen. The North Kaibab Plateau can be seen in the distance.

The west rim trails paved portion is close to the point but there is not a road leading to it. The point itself is small and flat projecting out to the west. The Bright Angel Trail can be seen in its entirety from the Garden Creek all the way to the Plateau Point. There are a number of switchbacks on the trail close to the top.

The Grandeur Point Trail goes past Grand Canyon Village and Indian Garden. The trail goes to the lower portion of the river also. A portion of Colorado can be seen close to Bright Angel Canyon. There are a number of distinctive peaks seen in the distance past Maricopa.

Yavapai Point blocks some of the view to the east of the Grandeur Point. There are more canyons, buttes and wooded areas that can be seen from the outlook.
