Take the paved path up to Pipe Creek Vista for dramatic views of the surrounding landscape at an elevation of 2,182 m (7,160 ft). The relatively easy and pleasant ramble along the rim takes about 30 minutes, and the sights from the top are well worth the effort. Unimpeded views of Brahma Temple, O'Neill Butte, and Pipe Creek make for excellent photographs. From there, more active visitors can continue farther along the Rim Trail to the South Kaibab trailhead. Alternatively, just soak it all in before catching the next shuttle bus back to the visitor center.

Nice but not as spectacular as some of the other observation points as this is a section where the rim indents rather than projects into the canyon.

It's the Grand Canyon... It's beautiful. I visited once to raft the second half of the river but we got there when it was dark and started hiking to phantom ranch before the sun came up. Looks completely different in the day.

You chose him. And that put me in the arms of someone else. I was at my lowest when you wouldn't answer me again. This amazing person came into my life and is everything I didn't even realize I wanted. We just money down on a 5 acre waterfront lot in Tennessee. It even has a boat dock like I wanted.
