Like the South Rim, Grand Canyon's North Rim has many named points - projecting promontories at the edge of the plateau - but comparatively few are easy to reach, as the terrain is much more uneven, split by deep side canyons, and accessible only by 4WD tracks.

Of the ten points which are either next to a paved road or reachable on an easy day hike, in some cases the views are of Bright Angel Canyon rather than the main gorge, and others overlook the easternmost section of the Grand Canyon where the cliffs and ravines are not quite so extensive, but all offer an unforgettable experience.
