Powell Point, Grand Canyon National Park

4.9

#27 of 79 in Things to do in Grand Canyon National Park

Enjoy sweeping views of the Grand Canyon from Powell Point, dedicated to an early explorer who ventured along the Colorado River through the spectacular scenery. Shuttle buses will take you up to the point, which remains relatively less crowded than other spots in the park. Sunset and sunrise are particularly memorable, but no time of day disappoints with these vistas. Powell Point is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our online itinerary creator, Grand Canyon National Park Edition.

Nichts bereitet einen auf den Grand Canyon vor. Man hat viele Dokumentationen darüber gesehen, Fotos, Reiseberichte gelesen, aber dann steht man sprachlos da und jeder Aussichtspunkt bringt Gänsehaut. more »

Nothing prepares one for the Grand Canyon. Seen many documentaries about it, read photos, trip reports, but then you stand there speechless and every vantage point brings goose bumps.

Rainbows possess an unparalleled beauty just about anywhere they show up, but above the Grand Canyon makes for an extra illustrious scene. I almost left my perch at Powell Point as a threatening thunderstorm approached. I waited a few extra minutes, however, curious to see at least the beginning of this meeting between canyon and storm. As depicted in the accompanying photo below, I was rewarded for my wait, as a rainbow came to form out over the canyon’s expanse.

This spot is accessible either by taking the shuttle or by hiking the rim trail. There is a small spot that juts out into the canyon after you take a few steps up. It can get quite windy quite fast on this point as the weather changes super quickly. Beautiful spot for photos, but it does get busy at the actual viewpoint.

Beautiful views, but there are better options at Maricopa and Hopi.
