Museum of the Mountain West

👍👍 This was a spur of the moment stop along our road trip. We circled back to see what this place was about and were just in time to join the next tour group.

Mesa Creek Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 This trail was the highlight of our trip to the Black Canyon. We came mid week in the morning and we were the only ones there- what a treat! It’s an easy hike with breathtaking views. We stopped for a little bit so I could sit near the water with our dog while my husband fished. A win for everyone!

Pulpit Rock Overlook
Vista point
👍 Good views of the canyon, but not nearly as breathtaking as some of the other viewpoints on the South Rim (or any of them on the North Rim for that matter). This viewpoint does have a nice picnic area and restroom facilities, so it is one of the more family-friendly viewpoints in the whole park

North Rim Campground
Campground
👍👍 One of the best places to observe the night sky as it is far away from any city light pollution. Check the weather before you go there. All the basic campground facilities are available. If you are lucky enough, you will probably found your tent surrounded by deers in the morning. Drinking water is...
