Tuweep - Grand Canyon National Park, AZ - a remote area of the Grand Canyon

Tuweep located in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona is on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is accessible by road. The area is in the national park's distant northwest corner and visitors need to prepare in advance and have a good deal of determination to reach it. The area is reachable by three dirt tracks that begin near the Pipe Spring National Monument, St. George, Utah or Colorado City.

The tracks to reach the Tuweep area run across uninhabited wild land for sixty-two to ninety-seven miles making the trip rather difficult. Visitors to the area are encouraged to bring everything that they will require for the trip since the desert country does not have facilities to purchase items that you need for your trip. The roads are normally suited to regular vehicles although there are some parts that are rocky and steep while others can be difficult to pass after it rains.

The roads leading to the Tuweep area of the Grand Canyon National Park become uneven and nearer as you get closer to your destination. The area which is also called Toroweap overlook has a rock plateau just a half mile from the rim of the canyon with a primitive campsite available.
