Weddings and Elopements
Lipan Point is the easternmost spot of approved Grand Canyon wedding locations. It offers the best views looking west into the Canyon,
- Elevation: 7,400’
- Special Use Permit Fee: $280
- Group Size: 35
The epic spot shows extensive curves of the Colorado River along the deepest gorges and a view of the whitewater rapids that make the river so mighty. The views extend nearly 360°. There’s a viewing platform, but there’s also a more intimate area available for wedding events away from the crowds.
Lipan Point is also five minutes from the highest spot on the South Rim at the Desert View Watchtower, a historical tower standing 70 feet above the edge of the canyon.
Lipan Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is named after the Lipan Apache, a Native American group originally from Texas. The name honors this Apache tribe, which is part of the Apache Nation, reflecting the deep Indigenous history of the Southwest region.
