Check out these fun facts and figures about the Grand Canyon, and test your knowledge.

Summer is a great time to visit the canyon, however remember on the South Rim you are at approximately 7000 feet in elevation so it can get cold. Take a light jacket with you for sunset and sunrise.

——————————————————————————–

Central Viewpoints:
Mather Point:

Mather Point

Yavapai Point:

Yavapai Observation Station

From Yavapai Observation Center you can take in unobstructed views of the Colorado River running through the canyon. If hiking all the way down isn’t your thing, from here you’ll still be able to take in Bright Angel Canyon and the North Kaibab Trail as they snake down to Phantom Ranch at the bottom.

Yaki Point:

Yaki Point

If you’re a morning person, its unique east and west vistas mean Yaki Point is the spot for sunrise. It’s only accessible by shuttle bus so make sure you check the schedule if it is on your to do list. Yaki Point provides views of Bright Angel Trail, Tonto Trail and closer still, South Kaibab Trail. It was named after the Yaqui Indian tribe slaughtered in the early part of the last century.

Western Viewpoints:
Pima Point:

Pima Point

The westernmost viewpoint on the South Rim, Pima Point offers a stunner of a view, particularly of the Colorado below. Just a little further west and you’ll come to Hermit’s Rest where the architecture is the draw but the view is much less dramatic.

Mohave Point:

Mohave Point

Like Hopi and Pima Points, Mohave is named for a Native American tribe once found in the area. One of the most dramatic rapids of the Colorado, Hermit’s Rapid, is visible from here as are some dramatic views of The Abyss. This is a great sunset spot so get to the shuttle in time not to miss it. You won’t be disappointed.

Hopi Point:

Hopi Point

This is the northernmost viewpoint on the South Rim and because of that, the western views stretch on and on. Another great sunset destination, get an early seat as it’s also the most popular. Several of the stone temples can be seen from here so pull out your guidebook and see if you can spot them.

Powell Point:

Powell Point

Named for John Wesley Powell, the first Colorado River explorer, Powell Point lies not far from Maricopa Point. Here you can find not only dramatic views but a granite memorial commemorating Powell’s two expeditions through the canyon.

Maricopa Point:

Maricopa Point

The first stop on Hermit’s Road leading to all points west, it overlooks the remains of one of the several Grand Canyon uranium mines. The sweeping views encompass parts of Tonto and Bright Angel trails and a good look at the Colorado River below.

Eastern Viewpoints:
Grandview Point:

Grandview Point

Continuing east you’ll find Grandview Point, the most southern viewpoint on the east/west route on the South Rim. It’s also one of the highest in altitude. Gentler slopes lead you down Grandview Trail, not surprisingly found here. Before El Tovar was built, Grandview housed the bulk of the tourists that came to the Grand Canyon. But after the luxury hotel was built, it’s own became less popular and finally shut down in 1908.

Moran Point:

Moran Point

If Mary Coulter is the architect of the Grand Canyon, Thomas Moran is its painter. After his initial visit on one of John Wesley Powell’s expeditions, Moran spent over 20 years studying and painting the canyon. Likely named for him because of its dramatic and colorful views, Moran Point is well worth the stop.

Papago Point:

Papago Point

An adventurer’s delight, Papago Point, although difficult to get to, is worth the effort. Some bravery is required as getting there means steep drops, narrow trails and scaling the side of the canyon, but once there, you’ll be grandly rewarded with one of the best views on the South Rim. Only you and the condor get one this good as very few tourists take the challenge.

Lipan Points:

Lipan Point

Connected by an east/west trail through the woods, Pima and Lipan Points provide sweeping views that encompass miles of the Colorado and one of the best locals to examine the stratification in the layers of rock that visually signify millions of years. Lipan Point is not far from Tanner Trail if that’s on your list and both have excellent views of Escalante Butte.

Navajo Point:

Navajo Point

The highest point on the South Rim, Navajo Point is an excellent choice for a sunrise destination. Only a half a mile from the terminus viewpoint, Desert View, you look out over the Colorado River’s big bend area. Huge views and easy access from Desert View Drive make this a great lookout point for those wanting to take it a bit easy.

Desert View:

Desert View

Home of Desert View Watchtower, another feat of famed architect Mary Coulter, Desert View is the terminus point on Desert View Drive. Add gorgeous views of the Painted Desert and the Grand Canyon itself and it being the first stop for those traveling from the east make this viewpoint one of the most popular

The Four Corners is the only place in the United States where four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado) come together at one place. Here a person can stand in four states at the same time.

The unique landmark is managed by the Navajo Nation and is open for visits from the public.

•Admission $3.00 (all ages)
•Open 7 am – 8 pm (June – Sept)
•Open 8 am – 5 pm (Oct – May)
•Four Corners Park: 928-871-6647

There is a small visitor center, which is open year round. It features a Demonstration Center with Native American artisans. Vendors sell handmade jewelry, crafts and traditional foods nearby. Self-contained toilets are available.

Four Corners can easily be visited while exploring the Monument Valley area, or as part of a Grand Circle trip including Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde and other national parks.

The area is very remote. The tiny community of Teec Nos Pos, AZ, is six miles away and it has a gas station. The nearest communities offering a variety of lodging, restaurants and other services are shown below:

•Shiprock, NM – 33 miles
•Cortez, CO – 40 miles
•Bluff, UT – 65 miles
•Kayenta, AZ – 77 miles
•Monument Valley – 100 miles

The closest major airports are located in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Denver. Four Corners is a long drive from the airports and so a trip just to see the monument is not practical. However. Many people rent automobiles and visit Four Corners as part of a tour that includes Monument Valley and the nearby national parks.

Where to Stay
Excellent lodging options are available not far away in Monument Valley and Bluff UT.

Nearby Attractions
The scenery immediately surrounding the Four Corners Monument is somewhat bleak, but nearby you will find incredible sites that typify our Southwest desert country. They include:

•Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park
•Mesa Verde National Park
•Arches National Park
•Canyonlands National Park
•Lake Powell
•Goosenecks Utah State Park
•Dead Horse Point Utah State Park

Ancient Rock Art & Ruins
Fascinating ancient cultural sites are found in this region. Most include rock art and artifacts attributed to the Ancestral Puebloans (Anasazi). Major sites open to the public include:

•Mesa Verde National Park
•Hovenweep National Monument
•Canyon de Chelly National Monument
•Edge of the Cedars Utah State Park

The Grand Gulch area offers a tremendous number of backcountry sites in a wilderness-like setting.

After the close of visitor facilities in mid-October, there may be a period when the North Rim is open for day use only. (before the snow comes) During this time there are no services or overnight facilities available inside the park. The road from Jacob Lake to the North Rim (Highway 67) is subject to closure due to snow with little or no notice during this interval and then remains closed until mid-May.

Monument Valley, perhaps the most photographed landscape in America, this valley of monoliths and buttes has been a favorite Hollywood backdrop for 80 years.  Still a traditional Navajo homeland, the valley is accessible by private vehicle and guided tours on limited roads. Horseback tours are also available.

Canyon de Chelly, an hour south of Monument Valley, where sheer 1,000 foot sandstone cliffs dwarf well-preserved ancestral Puebloan ruins is located in possibly the only national monument that still has a thriving community living in it. Visit the White House Ruins under the towering canyon walls or seach the 800 foot butte called Spider Rock where indian legends tell of Spider Woman dwells on the high cliffs and teaches people how to weave.

Today, Page hosts millions of visitors annually. The central location of Page offers services for tourists traveling to Lake Powell, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon’s North and South Rims, Bryce and Zion. There is much to do in Page, from the Rim Trail – a 14-mile biking/hiking trail around the city to Lake Powell National Golf Course, which offers 18 holes of scenic beauty and golf for every experience level. The John Wesley Powell Museum has exhibits about Major Powell and the history of river running, as well as changing exhibits of regional significance.

Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The Corkscrew.

Horseshoe Bend is the name for a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. The bend is locally known as “King Bend.” It is located slightly downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about four miles or 6 km south of Page. Accessible via a ¾-mile (1.2 km) hike from U.S. Route 89, it can be viewed from the steep cliff above. According to Google terrain maps, the overlook is 4,200 feet above sea level and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet above sea level making it a breathtaking 1,000 foot drop.

Rainbow Bridge is the world’s largest known natural bridge. The span has undoubtedly inspired people throughout time–from the neighboring American Indian tribes who consider Rainbow Bridge sacred, to the 300,000 people from around the world who visit it each year. At Lake Powell’s current level, Rainbow Bridge is not visible from the boat dock. It takes a hike ranging from one quarter to two miles, to actually see the bridge.

Page is also at the center of the Four Corners region’s Grand Circle of National Parks, Monuments, and Recreation Areas. More than 15 parks and monuments are within a day’s drive from Page, including: Grand Canyon’s South and North Rims, Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase – Escalante, Rainbow Bridge, Navajo, Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Cedar Breaks and Pipe Springs.
