Vantage Points of the Grand Canyon National Park

This is where the Grand Canyon was formally dedicated in 1920. It is a rocky peninsula that juts out over the canyon providing excellent views.

Perched along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Mohave Point is a spectacular west-facing overlook. Known for sweeping, unobstructed views of the Colorado River with its roaring rapids. This is famously one of the best spots in the park to watch the sunset.

With an elevation of 6,600 feet (2,030 meters), Pima Point provides 270° views stretching over 40 miles (64 Km) and is famous as one of the only spots where you can actually hear the roaring Granite Rapids of the Colorado River echoing from 1,400 meters below.

Take the man-made South Kaibab Trail for three key vantage points. The first, as you hike down from the South Rim, is the Ooh Ahh Point, approximately 6,470 feet (1,972 meters) above sea level. It is the first major viewpoint on the trail where the terrain opens up, rewarding hikers with a breathtaking, panoramic view that naturally makes people exclaim "Ooh!" and "Aah!"

3 miles (4.7 km) further down, on top of the redwall formation at an elevation of 5,200 feet (1,591 meters),  Skeleton Point provides the first view of the Colorado River on the South Kaibab Trail.
