Гранд Цанион Виллаге

Историјско срце Великог кањона и локација познатих ложа и предузећа, укључујући Колб и Лоокоут Студиос. Подручје села је веома компактно и мораћемо да паркирамо ауто и истражимо Рим стазу пешке, што се не сме пропустити. Са равне стазе има много одличних погледа. Железничка станица од трупаца и штала за мазге су популарне локације за разгледање у селу.

Виллиамс

Град Вилијамс, који се сматра капијом ка Великом кањону, такође има једно од најбоље очуваних искустава са Роуте 66 дуж главне улице са ресторанима, продавницама и преноћиштем. Ово је почетна локација за многе посетиоце који први долазе да виде Велики кањон.

4

Капела Светог голуба

Ова мала капела од брвнара Пондероса у облику слова А налази се на аутопуту 180 у Националној шуми Коконино на путу између Флагстафа и јужног улаза. Изградила га је 1961/62. породица Вотсон која је била лекар у оближњем Великом кањону. Капела остаје отворена за све пролазнике за молитву или размишљање, или чак само лепу фотографију.

Стражарска кула са погледом на пустињу Гранд Цанион

Врхунац 25 миља Десерт Виев Дриве који повезује село са источним улазом у парк. Торањ је архитектонско ремек-дело Мери Колтер, у стилу предака Пуеблоан и нуди импресивне погледе од 160 миља горе и доле кањона у ведрим данима. Уживајте у архитектури, локацији и колекцији артефаката који се налазе унутар торња.

6

Липан Поинт

Липан Поинт је једна од станица које се не пропуштају дуж Десерт Виев Дриве-а. Погледајте доле до реке Колорадо и можда ћете моћи да видите моћне брзаке беле воде. Ханце Рапид је један од најизазовнијих дуж реке и спада у категорију од 7 до 8. Једно од најактивнијих археолошких налазишта у Великом кањону је у делти Ункар, некада дом пуеблоанских предака. Ово је једно од само неколико места у Јужном ободу где можете видети Супергрупу Гранд Цаниона - слојеве стенских слојева, све до Висхну Басемент Роцкс, најстаријих у кањону.

7

Мала клисура реке Колорадо

За посетиоце који долазе из Камерона, АЗ, клисура реке Литл Колорадо би могла да понуди прву станицу и ушуњају се у оно што следи након уласка у Национални парк. Иако је то заправо један од највећих рукаваца притока Великог кањона, на дубини од преко 3000 стопа (910 м). Племенски парк Навахо нуди поглед и терен за пикник уз малу улазницу.

8

Грандвиев Поинт

Један од многих сликовитих видиковаца дуж Десерт Виев Дриве-а, али ово је онај који нећете желети да пропустите. Панорамски погледи на Велики кањон и поглед на реку Колорадо. Популарно и зато што је то локација сада демонтираног хотела Грандвиев. Прво изграђен као једноставна рударска кабина, а затим проширен како је туризам растао. Стаза Грандвиев прати оригиналну руту Индијанаца, која је такође коришћена за приступ рудницима бакра, злата и сребра, пре него што је Национални парк успостављен. То је планинарење које захтева припрему због своје стрмине, излагања сунцу у летњим месецима и леда и снега зими.

9

Навајо Поинт

Највиши природни видиковац дуж Јужног руба, који се налази на Десерт Виев Дриве, можете погледати назад на Десерт Виев Ватцхтовер. Дефинитивно вреди зауставити се и фотографисати.

10

Сан Францисцо Пеакс

Непосредно северно од Флагстафа, док се возимо до Националног парка или из њега, врхови Сан Франциска су вулкански планински ланац и највиша тачка у држави Аризона, која се пење на преко 12.000 стопа.

11

12

Матхер Поинт

За многе посетиоце ово је први поглед на масивност Великог кањона. То је први утисак који ће вам остати заувек. Лако се приступа са великог паркинга помоћу асфалтиране стазе за све покрете. На истој локацији налази се велики центар за посетиоце и кафић. То је сликовита и вредна, али равна шетња за коришћење Рим стазе за повезивање између села и тачке Матхер.

13

Иавапаи Поинт

За посетиоце који долазе у Велики кањон преко јужног улаза, Иавапаи је често други панорамски поглед у коме ће се зауставити да уживају након Матхер Поинта. Можете заронити дубље у компликовану геолошку причу Великог кањона у Иавапаи музеју геологије. Ова комбинована књижара, музеј, са експонатима и центром за посетиоце изграђена је у хармоничном кањонском стену да се стапа са окружењем.

Grand Canyon South Rim

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

15

Grand Canyon Village

The historic heart of the Grand Canyon and location of famous lodges and businesses, including the Kolb and Lookout Studios. The Village area is very compact and we will have to park the car and explore the Rim Trail on foot, which is something not to be missed. There are many superb views from the flat trail. The log train station and the mule barn are popular sightseeing locations in the Village.

16

Williams

Considered the gateway to the Grand Canyon, the town of Williams also has one of the best preserved Route 66 experiences along its Main St with diner cafes, shopping and lodging. This is the start location for many visitors first arriving to see the Grand Canyon.

17

Chapel of the Holy dove

This tiny A-shaped Ponderosa log chapel sits along on Hwy 180 in the Coconino National Forest on the route between Flagstaff and the South Entrance. Built in 1961/62 by the Watson Family who were medical practioners in nearby Grand Canyon. The chapel remains open for all passersby for prayer or reflection, or even just a pretty photo.

18

Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower

The highlight of the 25-mile Desert View Drive that connects the Village to the eastern entrance to the park. The tower is an architectural masterpiece by Mary Colter, in the Ancestral Puebloan style and offers impressive 100 mile views up and down the canyon on clear days. Enjoy the architecture, location and the collection of artifacts contained inside the tower.

19

Lipan Point

Lipan Point is one of the not-to-be-missed stops along Desert View Drive. Look way down to the Colorado River and you might be able to see powerful whitewater rapids. Hance Rapid is one of the most challenging along the river and are a class 7 to 8. One of the most active archeological sites in the Grand Canyon is at Unkar Delta, once home to Ancestral Puebloan people. This is one of only a few places in the South Rim where you can see The Grand Canyon Supergroup - layers of rock strata, all the way down to the Vishnu Basement Rocks, oldest at the canyon.

20

Little Colorado River Gorge

For visitors arriving from Cameron, AZ, the Little Colorado River Gorge might offer the first stop and sneak peak into what lays ahead after entering the National Park. Although, it's actually one of the largest tributary arms of the Grand Canyon, at over 3,000 feet (910 m) deep. The Navajo Tribal Park offers an overlook and picnic ground facilities for a small entrance fee.

21

Grandview Point

One of the many scenic viewpoints along Desert View Drive, but this is one you won't want to miss. Panoramic views into the Grand Canyon and glimpses of the Colorado River. Popular also as it's the location of the now dismantled Grandview Hotel. First built as a simple mining cabin and then expanded as tourism grew. The Grandview Trail follows an original Native American route, that was also used to access the copper, gold and silver mines, before the National Park was established. It's a hike that requires preparation due to its steepness, sun exposure in the summer months and ice and snow in the winter.

22

San Francisco Peaks

Just north of Flagstaff, as we drive to, or from, the National Park, the San Francisco Peaks are a volcanic mountain range and the highest point in the state of Arizona, rising to over 12,000 feet.

23

It is a scenic and rewarding but flat walk to use the Rim Trail to connect between the Village and Mather Point.

24

Yavapai Point

For visitors arriving at the Grand Canyon through the South Entrance, Yavapai is often the second panoramic view they will stop to enjoy after Mather Point. You can dive deeper into the complicated geological story of the Grand Canyon at the Yavapai Museum of Geology.

The Grandview Trail follows an original Native American route, that was also used to access the copper, gold and silver mines, before the National Park was established. It's a hike that requires preparation due to its steepness, sun exposure in the summer months and ice and snow in the winter.

San Francisco Peaks

Just north of Flagstaff, as we drive to, or from, the National Park, the San Francisco Peaks are a volcanic mountain range and the highest point in the state of Arizona, rising to over 12,000 feet.

Mather Point

For many visitors this is the very first view they will have of the massiveness of the Grand Canyon. It's a first impression that will stay with you forever. Easily accessed from a large parking area using paved all-mobilities trail. There is a large Visitor Center and cafe at the same location. It is a scenic and rewarding but flat walk to use the Rim Trail to connect between the Village and Mather Point.

79

Yavapai Point

For visitors arriving at the Grand Canyon through the South Entrance, Yavapai is often the second panoramic view they will stop to enjoy after Mather Point. You can dive deeper into the complicated geological story of the Grand Canyon at the Yavapai Museum of Geology. This combination bookstore, museum, with exhibits and visitor center is built in harmonious canyon rock to blend with the surrounds. It provides a covered viewing area with large picture windows. The three dimensional map models allow an appreciation of the scale and colored layers throughout the South Rim.

Grand Canyon Village

The historic heart of the Grand Canyon and location of famous lodges and businesses, including the Kolb and Lookout Studios.

The log train station and the mule barn are popular sightseeing locations in the Village.

Williams

Considered the gateway to the Grand Canyon, the town of Williams also has one of the best preserved Route 66 experiences along its Main St with diner cafes, shopping and lodging. This is the start location for many visitors first arriving to see the Grand Canyon.

Chapel of the Holy dove

This tiny A-shaped Ponderosa log chapel sits along on Hwy 180 in the Coconino National Forest on the route between Flagstaff and the South Entrance. Built in 1961/62 by the Watson Family who were medical practioners in nearby Grand Canyon. The chapel remains open for all passersby for prayer or reflection, or even just a pretty photo.

84

Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower

The highlight of the 25-mile Desert View Drive that connects the Village to the eastern entrance to the park. The tower is an architectural masterpiece by Mary Colter, in the Ancestral Puebloan style and offers impressive 100 mile views up and down the canyon on clear days. Enjoy the architecture, location and the collection of artifacts contained inside the tower.

85

Lipan Point

Lipan Point is one of the not-to-be-missed stops along Desert View Drive. Look way down to the Colorado River and you might be able to see powerful whitewater rapids. Hance Rapid is one of the most challenging along the river and are a class 7 to 8. One of the most active archeological sites in the Grand Canyon is at Unkar Delta, once home to Ancestral Puebloan people. This is one of only a few places in the South Rim where you can see The Grand Canyon Supergroup - layers of rock strata, all the way down to the Vishnu Basement Rocks, oldest at the canyon.

86

Little Colorado River Gorge

For visitors arriving from Cameron, AZ, the Little Colorado River Gorge might offer the first stop and sneak peak into what lays ahead after entering the National Park. Although, it's actually one of the largest tributary arms of the Grand Canyon, at over 3,000 feet (910 m) deep. The Navajo Tribal Park offers an overlook and picnic ground facilities for a small entrance fee.
