Visitors who want to experience one of the most comprehensive panoramic views of the Grand Canyon would be well-advised to stop at Cape Royal on the North Rim. Cape Royal is located on the southernmost tip of the Walhalla Plateau, which juts out like a peninsula into the Grand Canyon, forming the eastern edge of the Canyon’s North Rim. From here, the view stretches from Marble Canyon to the northeast across to the South Rim visitor area at Grand Canyon Village southwest of Cape Royal. Because it encompasses such spectacular vistas, this point was one of the earliest targets of tourism development on the North Rim.
