This Arizona Hike Leads To The Most Awe-Inspiring Lookout

If you're looking for spectacular views, this is the best trail in the entire state. The trail offers several shuttle stops along the way, so you can hike as many sections as you'd like.

The Grand Canyon welcomes visitors from all over the world, year-round. Because this trail is accessible to so many, you'll be sharing it with plenty of tourists. Don't let that discourage you from taking this trail; say hello, and maybe make a new friend.

Each section is between .3 miles and 1.7 miles long. Plan to hike several sections, or skip the the shuttles altogether and hike the entire 13 miles. Make sure to bring plenty of water along.

You'll be wowed with an incredible view from the very beginning of your journey.

At the museum, you'll enjoy some incredible views, and learn more about the canyon's geological history. Check out the photographs, exhibits and models.

Climb the stairs to the 20 foot tall monument and learn a little more history. The monument stands to honor explorer Major John Wesley Powell and his crew, who explored the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in 1869, and again in 1871-72.

It's pretty good motivation to continue on along the trail when you're awarded with views and vistas like these all along the way. From Pima Point, it's just 1.1 miles to the final viewpoint on the trail.

Hermit's Rest was built in 1914 as a rest stop for the stage line. The shelter was built to look as though it was constructed by a hermit or mountain man, who just gathered stones and branches from the area. It sits just a few feet from the edge of the canyon.
