A favorite of the many Kaibab Forest overlooks, this viewpoint makes a spectacular picnic or camping spot. From the 1-acre meadow, covered with Indian paintbrush and hiding Coconino sandstone fossils, views extend over the eastern edge of the canyon to the paper-flat expanse beyond. This is not a quintessential Grand Canyon overlook that you see in postcards and Grand Canyon books. Instead, you’re looking down where the Colorado first cuts into the rocks from Lees Ferry.
The road seems to end at an overlook; be sure to take the narrow road through the woods to the right about 0.25 miles to Marble View.
