  • This is a great place for a sunset view. On the day we went in mid-April it was very windy but there were dozens of Turkey Vultures enjoying the breeze below us in the canyon. Very nice view.

  • Lipan Point is one of the overlooks along the Desert Rim Drive (aka East Rim Drive). The point offers a panoramic view from west to east across the Grand Canyon, and there is a sign on the fence...

  • The sunset views are incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend! We came here based upon photographer recommendation and are so glad we did. It’s a pretty drive out there. We expected it not to be...

  • As grand as it could ever be... the Grand Canyon truly deserve its name. It is magnificently grand and vast and awesomely scenic and picturesque. I have taken numerous photos and I can't get enough of it. We went to the South rim (Lipan and Mather point). Both has excellent view and photo ops! Love, love the south rim location. So much better than the west rim we visited 14 years ago (though they have the skywalk). I have to say.. you haven't seen Grand Canyon unless you've been to South rim. Bucket list ✔️.
  • At Lipan Point, you can see the rock bottom of the Grand Canyon, which was cut and sculptured by the winding and mighty Colorado River.
  • This was my favorite viewpoint on the south rim. They are all pretty but not all can see the river. And there was some more walking around you could do.
  • Breath taking views and unique scenery. It would be great if you come early morning for sun rise or in evening for sun set. The views were amazing as I went at Sunset.
  • Best point for viewing stars and the milky way
