Located along the rim of the Grand Canyon and connecting five large "Points" of land, which overhang the Canyon and the Arizona Strip. The five "Points" are Parissawampitts, Fence, Locust, North Timp, and Timp. Each offers a different view and perspective of Grand Canyon features such as Powell Plateau, Steamboat Mountain, Tapeats Amphitheater, and Great Thumb Mesa, as well as the Mt. Trumbull region of The Arizona Strip. In addition to the areas along the rim, the trail passes through a forest of old-growth Ponderosa Pine and drops into several steep-sided canyons filled with groves of aspens and small meadows.
