    Hiking

    If you come from the Tonto Trail, the short detour to Plateau Point is worthwhile. Likewise, if you then hike onto the North Kaibab Trail, because from here you have a great preview of what awaits you.

    Hiking

    From Plateau Point enjoy a nice view down to Colorado River, and a full panorama of Grand Canyon around you. There is no shade here, thus it's recommended to start your hike early.
