Sunset along the Hermit Road will provide amazing views of the canyon. Powell Point is one fantastic spot to get off the shuttle and soak in the views. Linger here and grab the next shuttle that comes along.

The memorial at the top is well placed to honor this amazing man. He must be in heaven to spend every day to eternity in such a beautiful setting.

In 1869 John Weasley Powell went down the Colorado River to explore and gather data. There is a memorial here telling about him. It's a good lookout over the canyon along the south rim.

Went here instead of Hopi point for sunset and it was wonderful! Not too busy ,quiet and lovely views! Find a quiet spot and just soak up the view!

Powell Point affords a very different perspective on the Canyon than is seen from the El Tovar/Hopi House area. Those that have hiked will appreciate seeing different parts of the Tonto Trail and a tiny piece of the Colorado can be seen from here. The free rim shuttle will take you directly there and back so this jaunt takes little time, if you are in a rush.

I really liked this spot. We are near the end of our walk and stopped here for pictures and to rest. If you are 'slightly' adventurous when you get to the end of the main lookout if you go to the right you can climb down the rocks. Then you can have sit near the edge of the cliff. It's safe and it's a great place to see the sunset, plus it's quiet. This was my favorite spot.

After hiking into the canyon in the morning, we hopped onto the shuttle on the red route (Hermit's Rest) and stopped at several points to see different perspectives of the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed the views at Maricopa Point ... walked to Powell Point (0.5 mile)... continued walking to Hopi Point (0.3 mile)... took the shuttle to Mohave Point... and then looped around to Village Route Transfer. Powell Point is where they built a large memorial to Major John Powell. We preferred to walk past the memorial to see the fantastic views from the edge. You can stand close to the edge for some great pictures -- just be careful because many tourists have fallen off the edge accidentally. There's a couple benches at this stop where we sat and had some snacks. Such great photo ops!

Powell Point is along the Hermit Road shuttle bus route and worth checking out. There is short path leading up to the observation area and you can see some of the old mining equipment on the slopes.There's a very nice memorial to John Wesley Powell and the river crew's expedition here. It is approx a 2 mile hike from Bright Angel Lodge and a short 1/3 mile to Hopi point. There are no washrooms here. The nearest ones are at Hopi Point. Powell Point is a two-way shuttle stop should you decide to head back to Bright Angel Lodge to catch the blue line back to the Visitor's Center.The only fee is your vehicle park pass from the main gates.

As I have not seen every viewpoint at the Southrim of the Grand Canyon, I can't compare with all there is to offer but picture wise, this is where I took the best picture of my whole trip in the States.Besides the information on Powell Point, which was very interesting to read, you really should take your time here and sit quietly while observing the sunset. It's a very peaceful place to be at and a wonderful location for top knotch pictures!

Named after John Wesley Powell, U.S. Soldier, Geologist, Explorer and Professor, Powell Point in Grand Canyon is another location / stop for Great Views of the Grand Canyon. When At Powell point, make it point to go to the monument as well for some history, Grand Canyon exploration in early 1900s. You need to take the 'Hermit's Rest Route' to access Powell point and it's conveniently connected by Shuttle Bus service.
