Powell Point

Powell Point, a rocky peninsula on the Grand Canyon’s South Rim, offers visitors a scenic vista along Hermit Road. This overlook is not only a prime spot for witnessing the vibrant hues of sunrise and sunset but also serves as a tribute to Major John Wesley Powell and his team. The site is marked by the park’s largest monument, commemorating their pioneering expeditions down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Today, visitors can enjoy panoramic views and learn about the historical significance of Powell’s journeys.
