Point Sublime - North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona
Point Sublime in the Grand Canyon is an incredible overlook on the north rim. We were concerned a little about the road conditions, but found that it's not too hard to get there; most vehicles will be able to make it. The views of the Grand Canyon from Point Sublime are.....sublime may be the best term. Best of all, you can camp there. There are two campsites at Point Sublime. Unfortunately, I can't give a lot of information on how you obtain permits. We drove up to the Back Country Office at the north rim only to be told they were not issuing permits. I couldn't find a way to reserve permits online, but that could be because they aren't issuing any because of COVID. Regardless, Point Sublime was amazing. We will be back, and we will camp there.
You come in on the 67, which eventually leads you to the Back Country Office, near the Grand Canyon north rim Welcome Center. Backtrack a short bit and turn onto Widforss Road, then follow the signs to Point Sublime Road. 4WD is highly recommended. High clearance is nice, but not necessary. After about 16 miles, you come to Point Sublime, which, as I've said, lives up to the name.
You can turn off the 67 earlier and take other roads to get there. We did a reverse loop from Point Sublime taking back roads to Rainbow Point to camp (outside the park - no permits required), catching back up with the 67 to exit.
Whatever your route, Point Sublime offers amazing views of the Grand Canyon. If you're looking for an amazing (and not crowded) overlook, check it out.
