Yavapai Point reviews
-
Probably one of my favorite areas of the park. Also adjacent to a geology museum. Just awe inspiring. Has an adjacent parking lot if you don't want to hike the rim trail. more »

Right by Yavapai point there is also ruins that you will see. Visit the museum there as well. Sit and take in the most amazing views. more »
