Grand Canyon Nat. Park: Yaki Point, Spring Storm Approaching

Friday, April 13, 2012. A strong cold front is moving in this afternoon, much like the one shown in this photo from April 1, 2012. NPS Photo by W. Tyson Joye. Yaki Point and the South Kaibab Trail Parking Lot are CLOSED to private vehicle traffic. You will need to ride a free park shuttle bus to access this scenic overlook. The Kaibab/ Rim Route (orange bus) provides transportation between the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, South Kaibab Trailhead, Yaki Point, Pipe Creek Vista, Mather Point, and Yavapai Geology Museum. This is the shortest scenic bus route and the only access to Yaki Point, the South Kaibab Trailhead and the Yavapai Geology Museum.
