Green Mountain is the only 'summit' hike in Black Canyon National Park which gives you a different perspective of the canyon than any other hike in the park. Views of the canyon are not as immersive as when you are up close but it does give you an opportunity to get a view of the entire park and canyon at once. On the way to Green Mountain, you'll pass Exclamation Point, which is a fantastic viewing point of the canyon up close.
