What To Expect

Mather Point

Scenic viewpoint along South Rim, popular for its canyon vistas

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

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.

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.

Mohave Point

Another spectacular point for watching sunset and sunrise, Mohave Point also offers views of the Colorado River deep in the canyon below.

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.

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.

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.

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.

South Kaibab Trail

The South Kaibab Trail offers wonderful views and can be adapted for folks of varying abilities!

We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. What made it perfect was our guide Matt. He just did an amazing job making us feel comfortable, imparting his knowledge of the areas, answering our questions and planning a great lunch too! I was so impressed by the forethought he put into everything we did, including the lunch! It was the first time out west for my husband and I and it was wonderful having everything taken care of for us. We did the whole south rim of the Grand Canyon, east and west, over 2 days and then did a few hikes in Sedona and Matt was our guide for all three days. He did a great job of gauging our physical abilities too. We feel very blessed to have had him as our guide and look forward to booking another trip with him in the future.

Our family of 11, ranging in age from 11 to 71, was guided by Matt and Sierra through a South Rim Grand Canyon tour. They were both fantastic. Sierra took the part of the group who were more adventurous and wanted a bigger challenge and Matt stayed with the rest of the group and took a slower pace and included several stops to rest and teach us something about the area and how the canyon formed. Both guides were very knowledgeable and professional. After the south rim tour, they took us to a picnic spot and setup a lavish picnic, complete with a table cloth, non-perishable plates and utensils and home-made chicken salad, sandwiches, fruit, chips and desserts. The whole experience felt very white glove and tailored to our family. We couldnt have been happier with the company, guides and our experience.
