Lonely Planet review

About 275m (300 yards) behind Mather Point, Canyon View Information Plaza encompasses a visitor center and the Books & More Store. Outside the visitor center, bulletin boards and kiosks display information on ranger programs, the weather, tours etc. One display presents photos from each viewpoint - an excellent orientation to the rim.

The center's bright, spacious interior includes a ranger-staffed information desk and a lecture hall, where rangers offer daily talks on a variety of subjects. The store offers a vast selection of books and videos on the park and the region.

You can take the blue Village Route shuttle directly to the plaza. Alternatively, simply stroll along the rim to Mather Point, or drive to the small lot by Mather Point and walk to the plaza. If the lot is full, you can park on the side of the road.
