Roads/Topos from Fredonia, AZ to Whitmore Canyon Overlook
Whitmore Point
Spectacular views of the Grand Canyon, Parashant Canyon, Mt. Logan, and the Uinkaret Mountains greet those who head out to this 5,500-foot-high perch. Volcanoes and massive lava flows
between here and the Toroweap area to the east can be seen clearly. There are plenty of good places to camp, with no permit needed.
From Mt. Trumbull Schoolhouse, head west then south 22.2 miles on BLM Road 1063. Some junctions feature signs, but you'll need to refer frequently to a map. At 9.9 miles in, a jeep road to the
right heads down Trail Canyon to Parashant Canyon, a good area for adventurous hikers. Continue straight (south) for Whitmore Point. As with most roads on the Arizona Strip, conditions get rougher
as you come closer to the Grand Canyon, and a high-clearance vehicle is necessary.
