Guano Point and Eagle Point at a glance
Guano Point and Eagle Point are two stops on the free shuttle route at Grand Canyon West, on the Hualapai Reservation. Eagle Point is where the glass Skywalk is. Guano Point has the Highpoint Hike, wide views of the canyon and the Colorado River, and the remains of an old tramway.
Both are included in the All-Access Pass at $99 in 2026. If the glass bridge is the reason for your trip, look at the Skywalk tickets first. The rim at both viewpoints has stretches with no railing, so stay on your feet and keep children close.

Eagle Point at Grand Canyon West
Eagle Point is the home of the Skywalk and the visitor terminal. From the point you look out to the Eagle rock formation, and the terminal has exhibits. You can also look out over the canyon walls from the rim.
The Native American Village shows examples of traditional dwellings. Performances at Eagle Point run Friday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., not every day, so plan around a weekend if you want to see one. Parts of the rim here have no railing.
Guano Point and the Highpoint Hike
Guano Point gives you a broad view of the canyon and the Colorado River winding through it. The Highpoint Hike climbs to the top of the point and has no railing, so it is a hike for people who are comfortable near an edge.
The remains of the tramway stand at the point. The tramway was built in 1957, and its former span is given as 7,500 to 8,800 ft. It does not run today, so there is no cable car ride. Think of the remains as a historic site to look at, not a transport option.
Planning your time between the viewpoints
What the shuttle route and the daily schedule mean in practice.
Shuttle
You park at the terminal and ride the free hop-on hop-off shuttle between Eagle, Guano and Hualapai Point. Private vehicles cannot drive on to the viewpoints. Check the current stop list at the terminal.
Food
The restaurant and the two cafes, one at the Skywalk and one at Guano Point, are each open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Hours can change, so check on the day.
Hualapai Point
The third area has the cabins, the arcade and the zipline, which runs subject to availability and weather. See cabins at Hualapai Point.
Bags and food
Large bags, coolers and standard backpacks with two shoulder straps are not allowed at entry, and outside food is not either. Small bags may be allowed after a security check.
Heat and water
The canyon rim is hot and exposed, especially in summer. Drink water before you feel thirsty and plan the hike for the morning. See weather and the best time to visit.
Respect on site
Stay out of areas marked closed and off private property. Do not take plants, stones or artifacts, and do not throw anything into the canyon. Drones are banned.
More views to look for
From Guano Point, the Colorado River is easy to see as it bends along the canyon floor. A full visit with a walk, a meal and the shuttle fills a large part of a day, so leave time for the transfers and any weather pause.
To go beyond the viewpoints, see helicopter tours at Grand Canyon West, which descend into the canyon, and the Skywalk page for the rules on the bridge.
