Enjoy sweeping views of the Grand Canyon from Powell Point, dedicated to an early explorer who ventured along the Colorado River through the spectacular scenery. Shuttle buses will take you up to the point, which remains relatively less crowded than other spots in the park. Sunset and sunrise are particularly memorable, but no time of day disappoints with these vistas. Powell Point is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , online itinerary creator Edition.

Beautiful sunrise view. Busses start at 430, and *roughly* every 30 minutes on the red line. One left just before I got there at 547. Next didn't leave until 625. Takes 15 or so from the bus stop. So plan accordingly if you want to see the sunrise.

While the whole Grand Canyon is spectacular, Powell Point has views to so many different shape and color rock formation, it is incredible. I have also noticed that there are usually less people there, so if you want to relax and enjoy the scenes, head to Powell Point.
