Arizona Points of Interest

The Plaza


The Plaza is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Arizona's national parks. It is located in the Grand Canyon National Park near the South Rim. This point of interest is known for its panoramic views of the Grand Canyon's stunning landscape.

Visitors to The Plaza will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the canyon, including the impressive rock formations and the Colorado River winding through the landscape. The view from this point is particularly spectacular at sunrise and sunset.

Apart from the scenic views, The Plaza is also home to several hiking trails, including the Bright Angel Trail and the South Kaibab Trail.

The Bright Angel Trail is a popular day hike that offers stunning views of the canyon and the Colorado River. It is a 12-mile round trip hike, and hikers should be aware of the strenuous uphill climb on the return trip.

The South Kaibab Trail is a shorter hike, but it offers equally stunning views of the canyon. This trail is a 6.4-mile round trip hike that takes visitors down into the canyon to the Ooh-Aah Point.

Aside from hiking, visitors can also enjoy the park's ranger-led programs and educational exhibits at the visitor center. The Plaza is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the Grand Canyon National Park, offering visitors a glimpse into the natural beauty of this iconic American landmark. Get driving directions.
