4. Navajo Point
Navajo Point offers a great view of Desert View Watchtower, as well as panoramic vistas to the west and a view north up the Colorado River.
5. Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower
Explore this Mary Colter-designed structure. Also offers gift shop, grocery store and ice cream parlor services.
6. Lipan Point
Named for famed nature artist Thomas Moran, Moran Point is an excellent place to see the vibrant colors of the Grand Canyon Supergroup and basement rocks like Vishnu Shist.
7.
Fire lookout tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. It is approximately 10 miles east of the Tusayan Ranger District Office and houses an observation deck and informational signage.
8.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the shady ponderosa pine forest while stealing glances of the canyon through the trees.
9. Grandview Point
Viewpoint along Desert View Drive that once housed the Grandview Hotel, Pete Berry's mining enterprise. From here, you can hear the Hance Rapids below.
10.
Viewpoint along Desert View Drive that features a Kaibab limestone formation that has eroded into the shape of a duck.
11.
Two quick pullovers for taking in more great canyon views.
12. South Kaibab Trail
The trailhead located at Yaki Point that connects to the Bright Angel Trail before descending to the canyon floor.
13. Pipe Creek Vista

Named for Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Park Service, Mather Point is located a short walk from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and parking areas.
15. Yavapai Geology Museum
From Mather Point, walk less than a mile along the flat, paved Rim Trail to the Yavapai Geology Museum. Here you'll learn more about the geology of the Grand Canyon through interpretive panels and a topographical relief map of the entire canyon. The museum used to be the Yavapai Observation Station, so it offers some of the best panoramic views you'll see all day. Also has a gift shop on site.
16. Grand Canyon Village
The Grand Canyon Village was the first spot at the South Rim to offer tourist accommodations. With over 120 years of history here, you can explore the historical buildings and Native artwork, shop for souvenirs and grab a bite to eat at iconic restaurants like Fred Harvey Burger Diner.
17.
A visitor center, curio shop, and family home that's been in the park for over a century.
18. Hopi House

The first luxury hotel built on the South Rim in 1905.
20.
Built in 1935 as a "moderately priced" alternative, the luxury El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge offers historic rooms, cozy cabins, two restaurants, a gift shop, and instant access to the South Rim.
21. Lookout Studio
Mary Colter designed the Lookout Studio in 1914 as a refuge for tourists and artists to sit, relax, and gaze out at the beauty of the canyon. Today, tourists can still do just that, but now there is an added bonus of a gift shop.
22. Kolb Studio
The original photography studio of Emery and Ellsworth Kolb is now an art gallery, bookstore and curio shop.
