This gorgeous view into the Grand Canyon is just some minutes and a little elevation from the South Kaibab Trailhead. If you are not planning on going all the way down, this is the point you should go to in order to enjoy the beautiful panorama. The most prominent feature that you can see is Cedar Ridge with the South Kaibab Trail snaking around its eastern flank.

First destination on the way to the Canyon for those who just want to get into the canyon or just need some great photos.

We wanted to follow the tips above and actually only go as far as this indescribable "Ooh-Aah-Point". The point is rightly named. An indescribable view awaits you here.
What made it so fantastic for us was the play of light and shadow in the clouds.
You couldn't take it in long enough.
I was full of adrenaline, so I continued on to the next highlight, "Cedar Ridge". It was worth it.
PS: Cedar Bridge even has a toilet facility (albeit one with a strong smell).
