    Tips

    Hiking

    Point Gilhead is a great viewpoint if you just want to stroll for a little bit, but still enjoy a majestic view into the Grand Canyon. You can see Oza Butte and a gorge called The Transept. This location is also the trailhead for the Bright Angel Point Trail – not to be mistaken with the Bright Angel Trail!

    Hiking

    The vantage point is easily reached from the parking lot at the Visitor Center and offers a breathtaking view over the canyon.
