Description:
|
Beautiful Sunrise to Glorious Sunset. Grand Canyon Park entry fee is extra. Elevation - 7,000 feet. The trail is on paved and stone sidewalks or packed gravel along the south rim of the Grand Canyon. In 1932, a conference of Geologist and Park officials decided Yavapai Point has the best views of the Canyon. Along with the spectacular views, the route takes you through Grand Canyon Village with its gift shops, restaurants, historic information, Fred Harvey Museum, and nature interpretations. An alternate trail goes east from Yavapai Point. This route has fewer people on it and additional breathtaking views. Walk either or both for one event credit.
