English: Grandeur Point is located about 1/2 mile west of Yavapai Geology Museum, along the footpath along the canyon rim, known as the Trail of Time. There is no access to this location by road.

Grandeur Point may also be reached by parking in Lot A, by Park Headquarters, then following the footpath the leads past McKee Amphitheatre, and out to the canyon rim (about 1/2 mile). From there, turn left, and follow the Trail of Time along the rim and east for about another 1/2 mile. Grandeur Point offers an expansive view of Grand Canyon and Bright Angel Trail's switchbacks as they descend into the depths.

The Trail of Time is an interpretive walking timeline trail - 4.56 km (2.83 miles) long - that focuses on Grand Canyon vistas and rocks to guide travelers to ponder, explore, and understand the magnitude of geologic time and the stories encoded within Grand Canyon rock layers and landscapes.

Each meter walked on the timeline trail signifies one million years of Grand Canyon's geologic history. Walking the trail gives you a visceral appreciation for the magnitude of geologic time. Bronze markers mark your location in time; every tenth marker is labeled in millions of year! Along the timeline trail are a series of rocks and exhibits that explain how Grand Canyon and its rock formed.
