Hiking
The Rim Overlook is down another slightly longer spur trail off of the West Rim Trail. From here you get phenomenal views of the surrounding mesa and buttes, but cannot see the Colorado River as well from here. Regardless, this is still a stunning spot and worth the short detour, especially if you are a photographer.
