Grand Canyons Yavapai Point is the ideal area for unobstructed views of the gorge at sunrise. After a short 0.75-mile walk west of Mather Point, you’ll reach Yavapai Observation Station.
With far-reaching views of the East and West regions of the canyon, Yaki Point is another wonderful place to watch the sunrise at the grand canyon.
If you’re near the South Rim, Hopi Point is the best place to watch the sunset at the Grand Canyon. At this point, you get mesmerising views of the setting sun to the West and the glowing cliffside to the East.
