About Grand View Point Trail
The trail follows the canyon edge out to the far end of the Island in the Sky mesa, where the rim opens onto wide views. Looking down, you can trace the White Rim four-wheel-drive road below, while distant features of The Needles District rise across the landscape. Expect a broad, rugged panorama that rewards a slow stop at the edge.
