What To Expect
1
Mather Point
Scenic viewpoint along South Rim, popular for its canyon vistas
2
Maricopa Point
In addition to stunning vistas, Maricopa Point looks out over the former Orphan Lode Mine, claimed in 1891 by miner Dan Hogan. Originally mining copper, Hogan switched to uranium ore in the 1950s. Mining operations ended in 1967. Grand Canyon National Park acquired the property in 1987 but only began major environmental restoration in 2008
3
Powell Point
The Powell Memorial at this viewpoint commemorates the 1869 and 1871-72 exploratory trips down the Colorado River by Major John Wesley Powell and expedition crews. Stunning vistas can also be enjoyed from Powell Point.
4
Hopi Point
Hopi Point is one of the most popular viewpoints for watching the sunset and sunrise because of its wide vistas. The Colorado River comes into view to the west. Restrooms are available here.
5
Mohave Point
Another spectacular point for watching sunset and sunrise, Mohave Point also offers views of the Colorado River deep in the canyon below.
6
The Abyss
This viewpoint provides an almost vertical view down into the canyon, looking down into the Monument Creek drainage area where backpackers often camp next to Monument Creek or on a small beach along the Colorado River at Granite Rapids.
7
Monument Creek Vista
From this viewpoint the Greenway Trail begins, accommodating hikers, bicyclists, and visitors using wheelchairs. The trail meets Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas. Much of the trail follows the 1912 alignment of Hermit Road. There are six overlooks, including Pima Point, in addition to multiple resting areas along the trail.
8
Pima Point
Pima Point is one of the best places on the rim to see and sometimes hear the river. The splash and grind of Granite Rapids below can be heard echoing up the canyon walls on quiet days. The Greenway Trail continues from here to Hermits Rest, allowing bicyclists and visitors using wheelchairs to share the path with pedestrians.
9
Hermit's Rest
Mary Colter, one of Grand Canyon's most famous architects, built Hermits Rest in 1914 to look like an old miner's cabin, complete with a giant fireplace and front porch. Today Hermits Rest has a gift shop and small snack bar. Restrooms are available here. The Hermit Trail, winding steeply down into the canyon, begins about 0.5 miles, 0.8 km west of Hermits Rest.
10
South Kaibab Trail
The South Kaibab Trail offers wonderful views and can be adapted for folks of varying abilities!

Best decision we made was to book this tour!! And Matt made it even more incredible! We got snow overnight, and Matt had spikes for our shoes to make sure we could do our hike. We saw many people slipping and sliding. Not us! Matt was a wealth of knowledge. He told us about how the canyon was formed and then showed us, as we made our way down, how we were going backwards in time. He pointed out fossils and edible plants and facts about how the native people survived in this area. He was also very considerate of everyone in our group, making sure to take breaks when needed. Without this tour, we would have been lost and not made it below the rim. And now we’re part of the 5%!! Matt even prepared the most delicious lunch for us, managing to satisfy a strict vegan, a couple of part-time vegans, and a non-vegan!! It was the most enjoyable day of our already amazing trip, and we are so thankful for Matt!! If you are on the fence, just book this tour!! You’ll be so happy you did!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience exceeded expectations, and Matt will be so happy to know he made such an impact on your adventure. It’s great to hear that the spikes kept you safe and that Matt’s knowledge and thoughtful care helped make the day even more memorable. The fact that you got to experience the canyon’s history and culture in such a hands-on way is exactly what we hope for our guests!

Our tour guide Drew was, simply put, incredible. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and encourages you to push yourself while being gentle if you aren't ready to go to the edge. He provided a great lunch and was very accommodating for bathroom breaks whenever needed. Wildlife is always unpredictable, but we got to see a harem of massive elk that we got very close to without being in any danger. This is an essential service the first time through the canyon. I only wish we did this the first day. We loved it.

Wow, thank you for such an elk-cellent review! Drew really does have that special knack for balancing adventure with a gentle nudge of encouragement – and knowing the perfect lunch spot! It sounds like you got the full VIP wildlife treatment too; those elk must’ve known they had an appreciative audience. We agree, there’s no better way to kick off a canyon adventure. Next time, start with us on Day 1, and we’ll make sure every canyon moment counts! 🌄
