Hermit’s Rest: The views here aren’t as good as the other viewpoints since trees block some of the view, but there is a little gift shop and cafe if you need to grab a quick bite Pima Point: Stop here for sweeping views of the Grand Canyon and a clear view of the Colorado River! Mohave Viewpoint: This stop is very popular for sunsets, but because it has multiple individual viewpoints, it may feel less crowded than Hopi Point Hopi Viewpoint: With unobstructed views of the Grand Canyon, this is a popular viewpoint for sunrise and sunset Powell Viewpoint: Sweeping views and a great photo op! Yaki Point: Expansive, unobstructed views of the east side of the Grand Canyon and a glimpse of the Kaibab Trail Yavapai Point: Stop here for panoramic views with fewer crowds than Mather Point Mather Point: The most popular viewpoint on the South Rim and also the most crowded Here’s a list of my favorite scenic South Rim Viewpoints: I loved being able to spend an entire day stopping to marvel at the depth and beauty of the canyon. There are endless lookout points to soak in millions of years of geological history, each one a little different than the next. The Grand Canyon is a mile deep canyon and is truly one of those places that completely takes your breath away.
We left our hotel in Flagstaff at 10AM, picked up coffee & breakfast at Firecreek Coffee Company and drove 2 hours to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
