If you are trying to visit the North Rim of the Grand canyon the regular North Rim road closes after the first snowfall usually in November and does not open until May. That being said this is a great way to get Grand Canyon views if you have a vehicle that can handle the off road. If you start from... More

We planned 2 years for this spot! Finally, we got our lovely Subaru Outback and headed for Toroweap. You got to have a 4WD & High clearance vehicle to get here. The dirt road took us 2 hours to get to the camp ground. Much faster than we expected. The first 40 miles is easy if you have the right... More

"A Place of terrifying beauty," is what our acrophobic guide said and he was right. We visited it in July and that the low humidity made the heat quite comfortable. The roads are as rugged as advertised (NPS estimates 1 in 4 cars gets 1 or more flats getting here and a tow costs $1000 to $2000 so be prepared).... More

Staying in Kanab and planned a day trip here. Hired a Jeep through Expresscarrentals in Kanab as I guessed the standard Full size rental wouldn't cope. How right I was, the 4WD jeep with huge clearance was just the job-still a teeth jarring journey, with plenty of sand and rocks over those last three miles. Parked literally on the edge... More

This is the most spectacular place in the world's most spectacular place. It's at the end of a 63 mile dirt road, but the journey is certainly worth destination. We sat on the edge drinking a 6-pack and eating crackers for dinner. Forever memorable!! Next day, we hiked to Lava Falls. (Don't get me started on that one!!!)

It was my 10th trip to the Canyon and the best view of all. Absolutely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive from Fredonia over washboard, cattle crossings and will-the-car-make-it turns in the last 10 miles of road. We particularly enjoyed the "Tuweap Metropolitan Area" sign at the ranger station. No other people...just us and the little chipmunk who came looking... More

We were a little concerned about the drive,hearing of the terrible roads.No doubt a high clearence vehicle is a must,however most of the drive is on excellent roads,except the last 3 miles.When we finally arrived at the edge of the earth,we were truly amazed.We were alone,with nothing but a light breeze and sunshine accompanying us.The Grand Canyon as it should...

I visited this area of the Grand Canyon as part of an overnight tour and it was an incredible experience. All the area is beautiful and the views from the rim are priceless. One of the greatest things is the quietness there: It was in august and we were the only group there! All the other places I visited during... More

If you've ever seen the picture of the Grand Canyon looking straight down to the Colorado Rivr, that's probably Toroweap. Get a good map and a stout vehicle (a good SUV with 4WD is fine) and go. You won't see many people. You can camp out, and the sunsets, sunrise and stars are magnificent. Can get pretty windy, which may... More
