Our Goal with our Artwork: Remind people about the Beautiful creations or Blessings everywhere in Life. They have become so common, many except children have stopped thinking of them as amazing miracles and Blessings.

There are many viewpoints from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on the Arizona side or south rim this one from Hermit View is one of my favorites.... If disabled you can get a pass to use your own car along Hermit Road, otherwise you have to use the Bus service, but it is frequent. You can get off the Bus at one viewpoint, stay as long as you wish, and another will be along soon.

Some of our favorites viewpoints are reached from the South entrance, others on the west side in the Navajo Reservation. Our favorite view points are, from anywhere along Hermit Road to Hermit Rest, like pima, mariopa, hopi, or views from various areas and Yaki which can only be accessed by bus. But, many never see some of our favorite places, the buses running the routes in the Grand Canyon only go as far as Yaki Point. We like a lot of the viewpoints past there, especially Grandview, Moran, Lapin and Navajo or even many unnamed view points.

Less crowded locations, with fantastic views are Guano, Lapin, Moron, Navajo, and Desert View. Most all of the viewpoints have views of the Colorado river, but some of the best have no view of the river or very restricted one. Maps of the park show some of the areas that you would like other than Mather and Yavapai. Peaks that are prominent such as Isis Temple, Thor, Zoroaster, and views of the Abyss. There are also many trail heads along the south rim where you can walk down a ways (take plenty of water) or even all the way to the river.

A year of visits, scarcely suffices to see it all. It has infinite variety, and no part is ever duplicated. Its colors, many and complex, change with the ascending and declining sun; lights and shadows appear and vanish with the passing clouds, and the changing seasons mark their passage in changing colors.
