Gorgeous views, great paths, too many people. It was expected since this is the main visiting area. For the first views of ever seeing the Grand Canyon, this was fantastic!

This is the first point you see after the visitors center. It absolutely takes your breath away. You can see for miles across the canyon!

You have to see it in person. In a previous review I had written that we saw sunrise and sunset at the south rim. It was actually here at Mather Point, so apologies if I have confused some.
