Hopi Point — Attraction in Tuba City

If you’re visiting the Grand Canyon, do not miss sunset at Hopi Point. It’s hands-down one of the most breathtaking spots on the South Rim to watch the sun dip behind the canyon walls. The panoramic views seem to stretch endlessly, and the colors—deep oranges, purples, and pinks—dance across the layered rock formations like a painting coming to life.

I arrived about 30 minutes before sunset to grab a good spot, and the atmosphere was peaceful, almost reverent. There’s plenty of space to spread out, and the railings offer unobstructed views, perfect for photography or just soaking it all in. As the sun sank lower, the canyon lit up in warm hues and cast dramatic shadows that changed by the second.

I highly recommend taking the park shuttle—it’s convenient, stress-free, and drops you right at the viewpoint without any hassle.

Truly a magical moment and a memory I’ll never forget. If you see only one sunset at the Grand Canyon, make it...

This is the 4th stop point if you take the RED route bus. You can reach this point if you take the buss and wait for passing 3 stops and then get down at the 4th stop, or you can get down at the 3rd stop and make your way "hike/walk" to the 4th point. The 3rd and 4th stops are very close to each other. I don't recommend that you waste your time waiting for the bus. Just go ahead and walk, It's a nice walk. These 2 points offer a great view over the Grand Canyon, and they are must to visit. Don't miss any of them. I have taken few pictures and you should be able to see them here. Our visit was on the 4th of July and guess what? The weather was great. Don't think that the Grand Canyon would have a hot weather, this is because the elevation here is about 6000ft. So, it's actually it's at least 20-30 degrees below the average temperature in Phoenix, Arizona. Wish you a great trip...

Hopi Point is part of a cluster of viewpoint stops on the Hermit Rest Drive and Rim Trail, a few miles outside of the Grand Canyon Village. From here the views into canyon are outstanding, providing some very good photograph opportunities for visitors.

This viewpoint is just past Powell Point and offers great 180 degree views of the North Rim, westward and eastward parts of the Grand Canyon. This is the first of the viewpoint stops, going west, that offer views of the Colorado River, which you can see glimpses of when scanning the canyon floor.

Note: There are a few spots to park a car here and free shuttle village stop nearby. You can also reach Hopi Point by way of the...
