viewpoints

Some say this spot off Desert View Road is one of the Grand Canyon’s best-kept secrets. You need to drive a good mile down an unpaved road and then hike roughly half an hour to reach this viewpoint. The hike is an easy one though it just takes time. 

Mind you, if you’re not careful going there, you might miss it. Tech-loving travelers suggest putting on Google Maps prior to heading out. You park your vehicle in the clear dirt area there.

Check online or in your local paper and plan to arrive there before sunset. You may find you have the place all to yourself. The views are reportedly amazing and you can sit and watch as the sky turns colors as the sun slowly sets.  

See the best viewpoints via shuttle or personal vehicle

There are a number of shuttles visitors can use in the Grand Canyon. They run roughly every half hour. Check the shuttle schedules online.  

There are three different routes. In the summer you have to take the shuttle to visit some viewpoints. If you really would rather drive your own vehicle, the best place to do it is in the easternmost section of the canyon.
