hello and welcome this is Bee Walker with Modern Canine Vlog! You are joining us
today on a very special hike to Shoshone Point,
one of the best-kept secrets here at Grand Canyon National Park
Shoshone lookout is a local insider tip: a beautiful off-the-beaten-path area not
shown on regular visitor maps to the Grand Canyon National Park.
to reach this hidden gem we drive east on Desert View Drive just five miles
outside of Grand Canyon Village. Here we find an unmarked dirt parking lot
the hike out to Shoshone Point is relatively easy: you'll hike on a dirt
road for about a mile - but be sure to bring plenty of water for yourself and
your pets as there is no water available on the hike
the dirt road leads through pinyon, juniper, and ponderosa pine forest
to a Ramada area. The area is available for rent for special occasions such as
weddings or other festivities
Once you walk around the Ramada area you will find a small hiking trail that
leads onto the canyon rim
here the trail becomes a little bit more challenging as it leads out to the large
flat rock area and tall freestanding Rock
the views from Shoshone point are breathtaking and hard to even take in
with our camera equipment! From here you can see the Colorado River,
Vishnu's temple, Newton Butte and many of the other rock formations within the
Grand Canyon
Our hike to Shoshone point was rewarding - there were only a few other hikers on
the hike today and the views are amazing if you like additional information on
how to find the site please refer to the description below a video - if you like to
