CANYON RIM DRIVE

STOP 7:  CROW POINT OVERLOOK

While most of the overlooks on the Canyon Rim Drive are fairly close to the parking area, the Crow Point Overlook is an exception. It is not a long walk, perhaps 100 yards, but the trail does go down a rather steep hill. There are also a lot of boulders that you must make you way around at the overlook itself. These two factors pretty much make Crow Point inaccessible to those who have a problem walking. In truth, the view at Crow Point is the same as at the previous two stops, Canyon View Overlook and Wolf Creek Overlook, so don’t worry if you can’t make it down the trail (or don’t want to bother).

There is one picnic table at the parking area, though it was sitting out of the way in some tall grass when I visited.
