North Rim Lookout

The road to the summit, located in the Grand Canyon National Park, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). 4x4 vehicle with high clearance required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Expect frequent lightning strikes. At the summit is a lookout tower built in 1928, formerly known as Bright Angel Point Fire Tower. It offers tremendous views to the east, south, and west. For your safety, be sure to check the weather forecast before you begin your trip. If there is a thunderstorm in the area, please do not visit a lookout.
