  굉장히 사람이 많고 붐비던 포인트입니다. 셔틀버스를 타고 이동이 가능하여 편리하게 관람이 가능한 포인트입니다. 특히 해질때 가는것을 추천합니다.  more »

  It is a very crowded point. This is a convenient audience point for a shuttle bus ride. It is recommended to go in particular.

  It's absolutely beautiful. The views are breath taking. The breeze was great. Check it out if you ever get a chance. Please be courteous to our state parks. Follow the rules for your own safety.

  Spectacular view of the Grand Canyon as you enter the South Rim Park! There is a generous amount of parking here. It is a significant walk from your car to the point on the rim, and the walk will take you past some very thoughtfully added touches - such as the images of animals that inhabit the park that have been carved into large slabs of red rock near the restrooms/shops - seems like a fun game could be had of trying to find all of these little visual treasures while waiting for other members of your group. The point at the rim is a beautiful opening view of the Canyon, too. Absolutely worth the time to see!
