Tomichi Point
The first overlook on the South Rim Road, with views west down the canyon that take in the layered rock walls and the Gunnison River below.
Tomichi Point is the first overlook past the entrance, just before the visitor center. From the rim, the view opens westward along the canyon, revealing tiers of dark rock walls and the river far below. The nearby Rim Rock Trail runs about 1.6 km round trip along the edge and can be walked to Gunnison Point. When snow closes the roads in winter, this spot is a popular destination for snowshoeing. The overlook parking lot is small, so expect a short wait at midday in peak season.
