Havasupai Point is a remote viewpoint on the Grand Canyon’s western South Rim, reached by Havasupai Point Road from Pasture Wash Road. The view opens across steep, layered canyon walls toward the Colorado River far below. Consider it only if a far-out backcountry drive is part of your day; this isn’t another quick pullout along the paved rim.

Take in the whole viewThere’s more here than a single cliff face.

There’s more here than a single cliff face. Follow the stacked walls across the canyon, then look down where the river threads through the bottom. Include the river in your frame to give the view a sense of depth and scale.
