Summary

Description

(5262 x 2130) Cape Royal and Point Imperial are reached via a winding scenic drive. The trip to both points, with short walks at each and several stops at pullouts along the way, can easily take half a day.

From the North Rim Visitor Center, Cape Royal is a 23 mile/ 37 km drive that takes 45 minutes to an hour each way.

In this photo, Freya Castle and Vishnu Temple are shown as seen from Cape Royal on the North Rim. Cape Royal provides a panorama up, down, and across the canyon. With seemingly unlimited vistas to the east and west, it is popular for both sunrise and sunset. The sweeping turn of the Colorado River at Unkar Delta is framed through the natural arch of Angels Window. Look for the Desert View Watchtower across the canyon on the South Rim. This popular viewpoint is accessible via a paved, level trail.
