Powell Point is just west of the Grand Canyon Village, along the Rim Trail and Hermit Road, between Hopi Point and Maricopa Point.
Video starts looking eastward toward Maricopa Point. As video pans counter-clockwise, Summer Butte, Zoroaster Temple, and Brahma Temple are seen before Bright Angel Canyon comes into view. After Bright Angel Canyon, the numerous points in the canyon and North Rim can be seen such as Hillers Butte, Cheops Pyramid, Buddha Temple, Widforss Point, Tiyo Point, Isis Temple, Shiva Temple, Temple of Osiris, Tower of Set, Dragon Head, Temple of Ra. Video ends looking westward toward Hopi Point.
Powell Memorial observation point Grand Canyon National Park
Amazing video Oct. 31 2015, from my foot at the edge of Powell Memorial observation pint, Grand Canyon National Park Arizona. Standing just to the right of the walkway. The Colorado River just in front at the start of the video is about 2.4 miles out and about 1.2 miles down, when the river can be seen again up and to the right, that's about 29 miles away. Just above that it looks like two pikes apart in the distance, that may be Marble Canyon about 59 miles away. This is a breath taking experience, about 4.5 hours from Las Vegas.

The Grand Canyon - South Rim.
7th episode in a planned travel Photography series.
A few Grand Canyon facts:
The Grand Canyon is found in the US state of Arizona.
Many people consider it to be one of the seven wonders of the natural world.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 kilometers) in length.
At its widest point, the Grand Canyon stretches 18 miles (29 kilometers) across.
At its narrowest point, it stretches 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) across.
The Grand Canyon is around 6000 (1800 meters) feet deep.
The Colorado River runs through the Grand Canyon, it has been eroding its steep sides for millions of years.
The different types of rock visible in the Grand Canyon make it an important site for geological research.
The rock found at the bottom of the Grand Canyon (schist) is around 2 billion years old.
The rock found on the upper rim (limestone) is around 230 million years old.
American Indians have been living in and around the canyon for thousands of years.
John Wesley Powell led the first expedition down the Grand Canyon in 1869. He was the first to use the name “Grand Canyon” after it had previously been known as the “Big Canyon” or “Great Canyon”.
The Grand Canyon became a national park in 1919.
It was the 17th national park to be established in the United States.
I have to give a shout out to Richard & Liz Grolla for bringing the Canyon to me. Thank you, the sunrise moments & photographing the Elks was something quite special.

Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States, North America
Grand Canyon National Park is the United States' 15th oldest national park. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the park is located in Arizona. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The park covers 1,217,262 acres (1,902 sq mi; 4,926 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties.Grand Canyon National Park was named as an official national park in 1919, but the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison beyond description; absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see. Despite Roosevelt's enthusiasm and his strong interest in preserving land for public use, the Grand Canyon was not immediately designated a national park. The first bill to create Grand Canyon National Park was introduced in 1882 by then-Senator Benjamin Harrison, which would have made Grand Canyon National Park the nation's second, after Yellowstone National Park. Harrison unsuccessfully reintroduced his bill in 1883 and 1886; after his election to the presidency, he established the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation in 1906 and Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. Further Senate bills to establish the site as a national park were introduced and defeated in 1910 and 1911, before the Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The National Park Service, established in 1916, assumed administration of the park. The creation of the park was an early success of the conservation movement. Its national park status may have helped thwart proposals to dam the Colorado River within its boundaries. (Later, the Glen Canyon Dam would be built upriver.) In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park. In 1979, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site. In 2010, Grand Canyon National Park was honored with its own coin under the America the Beautiful Quarters program. The Grand Canyon, and its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for its combination of size, depth, and exposed layers of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. The canyon itself was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted, causing the Colorado River system to develop along its present path. The primary public areas of the park are the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon itself. The rest of the park is extremely rugged and remote, although many places are accessible by pack trail and backcountry roads. Only the Navajo Bridge near Page connects the rims by road in Arizona; this journey can take around five hours by car. Otherwise, the two rims of the Canyon are connected via Boulder City, Nevada, and the Hoover Dam. The park headquarters are at Grand Canyon Village, not far from the south entrance to the park, near one of the most popular viewpoints. Park accommodations are operated by Xanterra Parks and Resorts. Lodging is available along the South Rim at two locations. Campgrounds are located in the village and at Desert View, and hotels include El Tovar Hotel in the village and the Grand Canyon Lodge next to the campground. A variety of activities at the South Rim cater to park visitors. The South Rim Drive (35 miles (56 km) is a driving tour split into two segments. The western drive to Hermit's Point is 8 miles (13 km) with several overlooks along the way, including Mohave Point, Hopi Point, and the Powell Memorial. From March to December, access to Hermit's Rest is restricted to the free shuttle provided by the Park Service. The eastern portion to Desert View is 25 miles (40 km), and is open to private vehicles year round. Walking tours include the Rim Trail, which runs west from the Pipe Creek viewpoint for about 8 miles (13 km) of paved road, followed by 7 miles (11 km) unpaved to Hermit's Rest. Hikes can begin almost anywhere along this trail, and a shuttle can return hikers to their point of origin. Mather Point, the first view most people reach when entering from the South Entrance, is a popular place to begin.

Hiking Spencer Trail in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
We spent a morning exploring a trail from Lee's Ferry – one the few places in hundreds of miles from which one can easily access the Colorado River from both sides. We hiked up to the crest where we were rewarded with fantastic views for miles around across the vast landscape.

What I thought was a short 2 mile hike turned into 8 miles and we never did reach the Point. Oh well, Rocky and I enjoyed the long walk on the last of the winter snow pack. Saw some deer and fresh moose tracks.
Top 9 Grand Canyon Viewpoints
The Grand Canyon is one of the worlds greatest wonders. Everyone should at some point during their life visit and see the breathtaking views. Here are a few of the best viewpoints.
Hermits Rest Transfer
Powell Point
Hopi Point
Pipe Creek Vista
Duck On A Rock
Grandview point
Lipan Point
Desert View Watchtower
Mather Point
The best way to view all of the Grand Canyon (South Rim) view points is to split it up into 2 days.
On one day you can drive your car in the park on the east side of the Grand Canyon down Desert View Drive. There are 6 developed canyon viewpoints, 4 picnic areas and 5 unmarked pullouts. Every single stop is amazing and offers something different.
On the other day you will need to take the free bus service. From the Grand Canyon Visitor Center you will take the Blue Bus to the Hermits Rest Route Transfer. From there you take the Red Bus which stops at 9 incredible viewpoints. During the day the bus comes every 10-15 minutes. Feel free to take your time at each viewpoint and really enjoy each incredible view. If you don't want to wait for the bus at each stop, there is the rim trail path you can walk that will take you to each of the Grand Canyon viewpoints.
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I will try to answer it the best I can.
