Kanab Point
Kanab Point: The view are fantastic a the great expanse of canyon falls away below your feet from this perch overlooking the confluence of the Kanab and Grand Canyons. Few people know about this lonely spot, yet it's one of the best Grand Canyon viewpoints. The drive out takes some care with navigation, as not all the junctions may be signed. You'll need the BLM's Arizona Strip Visitor Map, a high-clearance vehicle, and dry weather.
The turnoff on County 109 is 4.7 miles south of the Hack Canyon junction, 34 miles southwest of Fredonia, and 34 miles north of Toroweap. Head east on BLM Road 1058, keep right at a fork 7.5 miles in, turn right at a fork 10.1 miles in (the wider left fork goes to an uranium mine), turn left at a T-junction 16.4 miles in and continue 0.8 mile to the national park boundary; you'll reach Kanab Point in another 4.0 miles, for a total of 21.2 miles one way from County 109. At the rim, the best panoramas of the Grand Canyon are 0.2 mile to the right and the best ones of Kanab Canyon lie 0.3 mile to the left. To camp at the Point, you'll need a backcountry camping permit.
