Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States
HERMITS REST ROAD VIEWPOINTS -- shuttle bus only.
 
Maricopa Point
Mining history of copper and the 1950's uranium; can see what's left and even the entry hole of the mine.
 
Powell Point
Great views; named for John Wesley Powell, the first explorer to journey the length of canyon on the Colorado River
 
Hopi Point

Highest point on south rim; juts out further than any other overlook
 
Mohave Point
Views in all directions--The Abyss' really red cliffs; three Colorado River rapids are visible; best view so far.

 
The Abyss
Sheer red cliff of the Great Mohave Wall plunging 3000 feet to the Tonto Platform.
 
Pima Point
Can see for miles; Colorado River and Granite Rapids; best view of The Abysss

Even though we've been to the Grand Canyon before, it's always amazing!
