Located in the Grand Canyon National Park along the South Rim at one of the best spots for watching and photographing the canyon at sunrise or sunset.

The coordinates will take you to a precise location at a popular overlook along the South Rim Road and Rim Trail. Access is from the Bright Angel trailhead area where you can catch the shuttle that runs every 10-15 minutes, or hike the Rim Trail.

This location is said to be one of the most popular for watching a sunset or sunrise. We caught the sunset on a clear, cold, and windy March evening and it was fantastic. Be careful not to miss the last shuttle back unless you have dark hike planned.

At the coordinates listed you will find a manmade structure signed and dated by two dedicated young men who worked for the National Park Service during the era of the 1st Manned Moon Landing and the Woodstock Music & Art Fair.

To successfully prove you found the location please email us this information. Do not answer the questions in your log here.

1) What are the names of the two men immortalized in concrete?

2) What is the date inscribed?

3) What icon of that period is inscribed?

To help pinpoint this location we recorded an elevation of 6,947' with our Garmin Legend. Good luck and enjoy the awesome views.

A warm, sunny, calm day in November that couldn't be beat for trekking the south rim trail. TFTC!

We had great sunny weather for our walk to Mohave Point from the Abyss after some morning snowfall. The viewpoints weren't very crowded, so it only took a minute to spot the requested info. We took lots of photos before heading out to Desert View for the sunset. Thanks for making us notice the little things. Email sent.

We had the most bizarre weather day today. Started off clear at Sunrise, had a blizzard, a rain storm, some sun and hail. All in all a wonderful geocaching and Grand Canyon exploring day. We're just at the airport heading home now, and will send email and pics once we land back in Nova Scotia. TFTC

(#5477) This was one of several virtual caches found during a 9 mile hike along West Rim Trail from Bright Angel to Hermit's Rest. Thanks for the cache at this scenic overlook of the spectacular Grand Canyon.
