The South Rim Drive is a scenic paved road that follows the canyon rim for 7 miles from Tomichi Point to High Point and features 12 overlooks. Most overlooks are reached by hiking a short trail. There are three handicap-accessible overlooks: Pulpit Rock, Chasm View, and Sunset View.
Allow 2-3 hours to view several overlooks. Those with limited time should consider stopping at Gunnison Point, Chasm View, Painted Wall and Sunset View. The South Rim Visitor Center, which features exhibits on the canyon, is located at Gunnison Point. The visitor center is open daily throughout the year.
In winter and early spring, the South Rim Drive is closed to vehicles just past the visitor center. During this time, the drive is open only for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
