#### The southernmost observation point of the Grand Canyon North Rim features extraordinary views of the region’s limestone canyons and rugged landscape.

Cape Royal is a popular North Rim overlook with impressive views of Marble Canyon and other key Grand Canyon features. Enjoy Cape Royal’s breathtaking views and drive to many other North Rim viewpoints, including Point Imperial and Uncle Jim Point.

With one of the area’s widest panoramic views, Cape Royal is an essential observation point for visitors to the North Rim. Look for Vishnu Temple, a tall rocky summit south of the overlook. Cape Royal is also great for bird watching. If you’re lucky, you may see a majestic falcon soaring above.

Reach Cape Royal via a short walking path, the Cape Royal Trail. The paved walkway features many interpretative signs, which you can use to learn about the region’s native vegetation. The trail stops at Angel’s Window, a natural arch in the Kaibab Limestone. Angel’s Window frames a section of the Colorado River, about 5,000 feet (1,500 metres) below.

Look for Wotan’s Throne due south of Cape Royal. Vertical cliffs surround this wooded mesa, making it accessible by rappelling. Freya Castle, a similar steep hill, is an impressive sight visible from this viewpoint.

Imperial Point, another excellent overlook, is less than 20 miles (30 kilometres) from Cape Royal. The easily accessed point is one of the canyon’s highest observation areas. It features spectacular views of the Painted Desert and eastern Grand Canyon. Admire the high alpine forests and native wildflowers on the drive to Point Imperial from Cape Royal. 

Plan your trip to Cape Royal from the North Rim Visitor Centre. The centre contains useful information about Grand Canyon National Park and its many fascinating viewpoints and tourist areas. Cape Royal and Point Imperial are both highly accessible North Rim viewpoints however, pack extra water for any walks, as the region is known for its extremely hot and dry weather.

When planning a trip to Cape Royal, keep in mind that the North Rim’s restaurants, lodgings and other visitor services are only open seasonally, from mid-May to mid-October each year.
