The Hopi Point in the Grand Canyon, Arizona is arguably one of the most visited spots in the region. The northernmost spot on the western rim of the canyon, this point offers a spectacular view of the Grand Canyon in all its glory.
The Hopi Point is situated at an elevation of 7,071 feet above sea level and allows visitors to look as far as the Havasupai Point and the Great Scenic Divide. You can also view a large section of the Colorado River from here which flows nearly 350 feet wide below this point. The Hopi Point has a viewing area fenced off for visitors to let them gaze down at the Salt Creek to one side and the Granite Rapids to the other.
Opposite the Hopi Point, you will also find a cluster of prominent mesas. Located on either side of the Trinity Creek, these mesas are named after figures from ancient Egypt. Of these, the most significant are the Isis Temple, the Horus Temple and the Osiris Temple. These names were assigned to the structures by renowned writer and geologist Clarence Dutton.
You can also view the Dana Butte from the Hopi Point which is named after a famous 19th Century Geologist. The vast, uninterrupted view of the horizon that the Hopi Point offers makes it a great place to catch a breathtaking sunset. The point is open all throughout the day, at any time of the year.
Irrespective of whether it is your first time to the Grand Canyon or one of your many frequent trips to the region, there is no way your vacation is complete without a visit to the historic Hopi Point.
