Beyond, further to the west, are three of the next points (Yuma, Cocopa, Havasupai), fading into the distance. Below the huge cliffs, about half a mile of river is visible, including Boucher Rapids and Granite Rapids, at the end of Monument Creek which occupies most of the near ground. In the east, the ridge extending from Hopi Point blocks some of the canyon, so the panorama starts with Bright Angel Canyon on the North Rim, and includes Ninetyone Mile Creek, Trinity Creek and Ninteyfour Mile Creek. Directly below Mohave Point is a distinctive red sandstone mesa with jagged edges, known as The Alligator. Mohave is one of only two eastbound stops along the Hermit's Rest shuttlebus route, along with Hopi Point, and both are favorite locations for watching the sunset. The views at Hopi are more expansive, but Mohave has several individual overlooks rather than just one, and tends to receive fewer visitors so is generally more peaceful.
