South Rim

Upper Falls Viewpoint

This easy walk takes you to two viewpoints of the Upper Falls, which drops 109 ft (33 m) over a lip of volcanic rock. Upstream of the waterfall, you can see the old Canyon Bridge, which today is part of the North Rim Trail. From the left overlook, look downstream to glimpse Crystal Falls on the opposite side of the canyon.
