Dramatic viewpoints and hikes

One of the most dramatic viewpoints of the Grand Canyon is at Guano Point, boasting stunning 360-degree views of the canyon and what’s left of the $3.5 million aerial tramway system that once spanned 7,500 feet built in 1957.

As you gaze out across the expansive canyon, let thoughts of the brave souls who attempted to mine nitrogen-rich guano for fertilizer from the guano cave discovered in 1930 fill your mind. For 20 years, these miners rode the aerial tramway to cross the river with a vertical lift of 2,500 feet.
