Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I decided to stop at this point on my way to Desert View Watchtower. This point was accompanied by some history of early tourists and a copper mine. I read the bulletin board and was impressed with the history. There is also a trail that starts off from this point. I walked a bit down to get better views which was a great way to get more views. Honestly, there are no bad views along the South Rim points. Just take your time absorbing the views and enjoy the points you can stop at because there is no wrong point.

We arrived late afternoon and saw the canyon as the light was fading. We had booked the 1/2 hour helicopter flight early next morning which was unfortunately was cancelled due to cloud cover in the canyon. We went back and saw the canyon as the cloud came and went which was spectacular and eerie. I’d say visiting the Grand Canyon is the No 1 thing to do before you die.

A great place to see some really nice views. There were some trees in the upper area though that block some of the best views. It was very busy at this viewpoint, but we were able to find a place to enjoy the views without being bothered by the crowds.

This is a great stop! You will learn a lot of history about the old mines that exist down below in the canyon. You can also hike down into the canyon here. If you are prepared for an overnighter, you can hike all the way down to the bottom of the canyon, camp at the bottom, and then explore the old mines, and hike back up the next day. A great experience for those without kids or pets!

This is a lookout point along the Eastern part of the South Rim. You require a vehicle to get here as NP does not provide shuttle service.
This used to be the most popular place in the park circa 1900. There was a hotel and trailhead of Grandview trail. The hotel is long gone but the trail is still available.

This is part of the awesome Desert view drive on the south rim. The parking here is abundant. The walk to the view is very short and the view does open in a Grand fashion.
You can walk down a little bit and see some more awesome views. Be careful not to get too close to the edge, I saw some Instagram hungry people doing some really stupidly dangerous things. There are lots of safe picture opportunities, just relax and enjoy the breathtaking views.
Don't miss this.

This was one of our early morning stops after we saw a sunrise. The view is grand for sure. We also walked down the Grandview Trail just a bit to see what it was like. It would be an amazing hike. This is one location I would make sure you stop at.

We wanted to experience the Grand Canyon during all the times of day. We drove here at pitch black dark to look over everything and it was amazing. The moon was beautiful, seeing the canyon in darkness. Itw as perfect.

Along East Rim Drive. Beautiful observation point and well worth making the drive out here for a different view of the Canyon. Make sure to drive on to Moran Point which is even better

This was our first stop from driving into the Grand Canyon from the south end. Amazing view are here and there is even a hiking trail here we started it and was on it for about a half an hour BUT we found it to be narrow and the gravel was very loose sooo we quickly turned around. hahaha Not a place you want to slip and fall.

Do I have to pay for or take a guided tour to get to this Grand View Point?
Written 8 June 2017
Hi Rhonda, you dont need a guided tour, and therefore dont need to pay for one. It is easy to find for yourself. There is however an entrance fee for the area, enjoy...
