What you'll see 🌄 Big views

The finest straight-down view in the park, from a rim point directly above the river.

Tips
The North Rim is reached by a long detour via Crawford and sees a fraction of the traffic. Exclamation Point genuinely earns the name - the ground ends and the river is 1,800 feet below your boots.
