Grandview Lookout

Location: East of Tusayan and south of Grand Canyon National Park.

Difficulty: Easy.

Description: Beautiful, uncrowded forest immediately adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park. Free camping is allowed almost anywhere in the forest except within 1/4 mile of highways and surface water. Also, you can’t camp within 1 mile of Hull Cabin. There are many other roads to explore in the area. The forest is teeming with wildlife. You might want to stop at the Forest Service Ranger Station just north of Tusayan to find out more about the area. Washboard gravel road except for F.S. 303 which narrows to a single lane. This road has a few ruts and muddy spots that require high clearance and perhaps four-wheel drive when wet.

Time & Distance: About 22 miles, plus 3.6 miles round trip to Hull Cabin. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours to reach the entrance to the park. Add another 1/2 hour for the side trip to Hull Cabin.

Trail Conditions: Kaibab National Forest, Tusayan Ranger District. Call (928) 638-2443.

Get yourself and your rig ready for the trip: Make sure both you and your vehicle are prepared for your next adventure.

Before you venture out on your offroading trip you need to make sure you are prepared for emergencies. Even if nothing happens to you or your vehicle, you might come across someone who needs help. Short of having your full-on bug-out-bag with you, you should at least have some basic emergency items. It might seem obvious to some, but you should get yourself a tool box with appropriate tools and leather gloves, good first aid kit, fire extinguisher, set of jumper cables, emergency blankets (stored in heavy plastic bag – both are useful), flashlight, tow strap and some extra water. I would also suggest a recovery strap, a military folding shovel, heavy duty garbage bags, and a hand crank self powered weather radio. These items are not expensive, but they just might save your day.

Another thing you should definitely do before you leave is to save the number to Arizona 4×4 Off Road Recovery in case you find yourself in need of recovery in the middle of nowhere. Their number is (602) 697-8306.
