Create an itinerary including Bright Angel Point
Towering above the Grand Canyon, is the national park's most popular viewpoint. You can get close to the viewpoint via car, but to be rewarded with its famous view, you'll need to hike the paved 0.4 km (0.25 mi) long trail along a ridge. At the end, you'll be able to see the vastness of the Grand Canyon, stretching so far below that even the Colorado River will be out of sight. Although the pathway is paved, it has a noticeable elevation change. Discover how to plan a Grand Canyon National Park trip in just a few steps with Klarna Trips's itinerary builder.

  • If you are not afraid of heights and don't mind walking on a trail with no railing this is an amazing view point to visit! It is a great place to get some good pictures of the Canyon.
