This is a prime spot for tourists, especially at sunset. It was gorgeous, however I would recommend going to the Desert Canyon section for less crowds.

Stopped here twice, once for part of an afternoon with some interesting weather--clouds to the east rolling in and covering the canyon while it still remained clear in the west, gorgeous views everywhere you looked. Came back the next morning and watched the sun rise almost directly behind Vishnu Temple, wonderful to see. From March 1 - November 30, this... More

This is one of our favorite view points at the Grand Canyon and you can't drive to it. Only shuttle buses are allowed, so be sure to hop on one and check it out! The canyon just wraps around you here!

Beautiful! Majestic! A wonderful place to get a panoramic first look at the Grand Canyon. We packed our breakfast and ate here while sitting on the rocks watching the sunrise. Park at the Visitor Center and take the morning shuttle to Yaki Point. It leaves every 30 minutes in the early morning, so make sure to arrive on time. It's... More

It's a beautiful spot but Instead of taking a 40 dollar tour ride it's easier to get on the Orange route and ride FREE out to this point.

I took a chance on this trip (via shuttle) as a big thunderstorm was heading in. The bus driver warned that if we got off, there was no shelter at the point. I'm not new to stormy weather and I could read that the dangerous part of the storm had taken a turn to the North. If anything, we'd get... More

You can get there only by a shuttle. It was very cold and windy there. The shuttle did not arrive at scheduled 12 minute interval. Although private cars not allowed many people drove there...Tssk Tssk

view overlooking the south rim of the grand canyon but not my favorite. This is located east of the visitor center and can be easily accessed by taking the shuttle.
