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 an amazing day with our guide Matt. His knowledge of the canyon and the plants, wildlife, etc was a highlight. Lunch was amazing ! Matt put a lot of care into the whole day and we really enjoyed ourselves!!! Would 100 percent recommend. From our 11 year old to our 25 year old, everyone enjoyed !

Sounds like Matt turned your day into a canyon adventure buffet of fun, knowledge, and great food! 🌄 We’re thrilled everyone—from 11 to 25—had a blast learning about the local plants, wildlife, and beyond. Here’s to more days filled with discovery, good eats, and memories for all ages!

We had an Amazing day with Matt as our guide. He was so knowledgeable , patient and easy going. He answered all of our questions and gave us a history of the canyon. It was really the perfect way to spend the day ! I would highly recommend as you get much more out of the hiking and observing when someone gives you interesting information along the way .
