Grand Canyon South Rim is spectacular. Worth the 4 hr ride from Las Vegas. Can’t wait to go back for more time.
Most tourists consider the views from Yavapai Point as the most breathtaking on the Grand Canyon South Rim. As the northernmost lookout point on the South Rim and the most panoramic features the closest views of the Colorado River far below the point. It features unobstructed views up and down the river gorge.
Yavapai Point is also the most popular spot to watch the sunset which is why this vista point inspires so many photographers and artists to capture its essence of beauty. It features an abundance of distant butte formations of differing shapes with a multitude of color that bombard the eye senses in all directions. At an elevation of 7062 feet, it is one of the highest points at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Convenient, basic, but all you need and are right in the park. We didn’t have a working heater so we needed to switch rooms, which was an inconvenience.

Loved this stay! For as many people as they had it was quiet and we had shower and restroom opportunities with some food options in town; sadly ladies were a little strange about no campfires… so don’t expect a romantic campfire in the desert as the ‘wind’ will be too much even if it’s not ...
