Praktische Infos
Die Fahrt vom Arizona Highway 389 zum Aussichtspunkt dauert ungefähr drei Stunden. Fahrzeuge mit hoher Bodenfreiheit sind erforderlich, und es ist am besten, eine Karte mitzubringen, da am Toroweap Point keine Zellenabdeckung vorhanden ist. Die Sunshine Route, bekannt als Country Road 109, ist der beliebteste Zugang, aber die schwierigere Main Street Route von St. George ist die landschaftlich schönste, wenn auch in den Wintermonaten unpassierbar.

When to Get There

The roads are often impassable due to summer monsoon rains and mud or winter rain and snow.
Photograph the Grand Canyon from Toroweap Point
The rare canyon-side solitude found at Toroweap Point is just the beginning of what makes it a coveted vantage point for photographers. Additionally, the overlook is positioned in the middle of a relatively straight section of the Colorado River, delivering unobstructed views of the canyon in both directions. This presents the rare opportunity to capture both sunrise and sunset over the Colorado River from the same point.
