Not sure why they call it Cape Final although if you take one more step at this Grand Canyon rim viewpoint, it will be your final. It’s about a 3,000 foot drop from this point. To get there, you hike two miles through a Ponderosa pine forest with moderate elevation gain. The trail head is a few miles north of the main road to Cape Royal at the North Rim. You can actually obtain a back country permit in order to camp here overnight. I plan to do that sometime soon.
Magnificent, Michael. It pays to hike a bit to get these views. The colors are incredible. Such a spiritual place.
Thanks for posting all these beautiful photos. We’re heading to the GC next week–so looking forward to it!
Such an amazing landscape. You wouldn’t want to go sleepwalking while you camped there!
Made me want to go back there now! Awesome shots, Michael!
