Sycamore Point, which is accessed from the Williams Ranger Station. It is best to get directions at the ranger station as you must travel remote county roads. Despite the roads, it is amazing to think that the Grand Canyon, only 100 or so miles away draws millions of people while this spectacular canyon is virtually unheard of. When I visited Sycamore Point in October 2000, I was the only person there.
