The East Rim Viewpoint sits at the junction of the long-distance Arizona Trail and the East Rim Trail with some beautiful views far away from the crowds. You can continue along the connecting North Canyon Trail to enjoy the panoramic views a little longer.

The massive scale of the Kaibab Plateau becomes clear from this viewpoint, which provides views across the Saddle Creek Wilderness and further east where arid, desert landscape stretches toward the Colorado River.
