7Yavapai Point
If you’re already stopping at Mather Point, Yavapai Point is a nice, easy walk from there. If you prefer to do the road trip thing, you should note that Mather Point offers easily accessible parking. In fact, vehicles that are more than 22 feet in length are not allowed at the surprisingly little parking lot near this viewpoint.
While there, be sure to wander over to the nearby Yavapai Observation Station too. It’s a modest little visitor center complete with numerous books and additional geographical info concerning the Grand Canyon. Those in the know claim that out of the trio of areas that make up the Grand Canyon’s southern rim, Yavapai Point provides people with the most memorable panoramic views.
It is believed that this is due to the fact that it is the northernmost point and is also closest to the Colorado River. Hikers should note that the hike here will probably take twice as long to get back as it does to reach this viewpoint because of the inclines. This is especially important if you are going to be hiking later that day.
