Description
Digital Painting of the Full Moon Rising over Yaki Point Grand Canyon National Park Arizona.
Yaki Point is Ranked #18 of 67 attractions in Grand Canyon National Park, but due to its location, and restrictions in parking (Unless you have a disabled pass) other viewpoints get more visitors. However for just this reason it is one of our favorite places.
Overlooks along Grand Canyon's East Rim Drive are visited less than those to the west with the exception of Yaki Point... The entrance to Yaki Point begins 2 miles east of the US 180 road junction, near the national park entrance. The road into the viewpoint is a 1.5 mile side road, if you walk in watch out for traffic on the curves.
Years ago, the small parking area by the rim was deemed to small to cope with the increased volume of traffic, so entry to all private vehicles was stopped. Now access is either on foot - by parking on the main road at a nearby picnic area - or by shuttlebus. Yaki is the easternmost stop on the Kaibab Trail Route that also serves Pipe Creek Vista and the Canyon View Information Plaza at Mather Point. The restriction also applies to the South Kaibab Trailhead, located half way along the side road.
The westwards vista encompasses the end of the Bright Angel Trail, a section of the Tonto Trail and a fine view of much of the South Kaibab Trail as it descends along Cedar Ridge and O'Neill Butte. The view to the east includes Cremation Creek, running beneath another long red ridge centered on Newton Butte, and beyond (on the North Rim), the long drainage of Clear Creek enclosed by many high buttes and mesas.
