Mather Point is one of the most popular view points along the South Rim. It is easy to get to so you will most likely share it with a lot of people. You can get there by car, parking at the parking lot near the visitors center. If you like a little more solitude, you can take a hike along the Rim Trail next to Mather Point. If you hike left, you hike towards Hermits Rest with stunning view points along the way. A shuttle (red route) will take you back to the visitors center.

If you hike to the right, you will get to South Kaibab Trailhead. Take the shuttle (orange route) back to the visitors center.

I was there during a thunderstorm, so luckily it was pretty empty and the scenery was gigantic due to the special light and the lightning over the canyon.

Mather Point is THE classic on the South Rim and is best reached from the Visitor Center or the central parking lot. Due to its easy accessibility and prominent location, this point is very popular and you will rarely be alone here. Dramatic views of Cedar Ridge and the South Kaibab Trail that runs along it open to the east.
