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 day with Matt! He could NOT have been more knowledgeable, kind, helpful and informative - we had a million questions and he was patient and answered all our questions fully and with humor (when appropriate.) We had MANY dietary restrictions (gluten free, allergies, etc.) and the lunch he provided and fully set up for us was not only delicious but well thought out and prepared/displayed. I had recently been in an accident and fractured my sternum. As one in a party of six, I was concerned that I might hold my family back, but Matt planned a perfectly full day that was appropriate for all us us and I didn’t feel like a “fifth wheel.” We we’re honestly sad to say goodbye and will certainly ask for him when we’re back in the area and will recommend him and your company to all who plan on visiting Arizona - thanks SO much, Matt!

Matt was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He also prepared an delicious picnic lunch for us, considering our dietary restrictions. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

We took a full-day tour of the Grand Canyon with Matt, who was hands-down the BEST tour guide I have ever had, anywhere! He was not only kind, courteous and enjoyable to be around; he also shared with us an endless wealth of knowledge about the canyon, its history, formation, make-up, landmarks, etc, etc, etc! He patiently answered ALL of our questions (and we had a LOT of questions!), even about surrounding areas and other southwestern parks that we weren’t even touring that day. He created a tour that was fun and informative, without a dull moment, even with a member of our party being restricted due to a broken sternum. He then went above and beyond his obligations to offer us several recommendations for dining, shopping, landmarks to visit, and hikes to try for our upcoming stay in Sedona. We couldn’t have had a better day, or a better tour guide. Matt, we’ll definitely be looking you up the next time we get the opportunity to visit the southwest!
