Moran Point

Moran Point is a prominent feature at any Grand Canyon viewpoint but at Moran Point three main rock groups are clearly visible. 





The Layered Paleozoic Rocks represent the sedimentary rocks that make up most of the Grand Canyon's depth. The Grand Canyon Supergroup represents a significant portion of the canyon's geologic record even though it is only in isolated remnants, visible at only a few spots along the rim. The Vishnu Basement Rocks are the oldest at the canyon, consisting of both metamorphic and igneous rock.

Less crowded then the other lookouts but still amazing views.

Seriously, If you've never seen the Grand canyon, you have never seen anything like it. It is literally stunning with its wide expanses and massive depths and what you can see from the overlooks will more than sate your need for natural beauty.
