Point Imperial, formerly known as Skidoo Point, is one of the most visited spots on the North Rim, accessible by an eleven mile scenic drive northeast of the main settlement at Bright Angel.
While the Grand Canyon isn't known as a fall colors location, this shot was done Oct 1, 2018 and some Fall Colors were at peak at the top of the canyon rim seen at the far right edge of the photo.
At 8,803 feet, it is the highest of the North Rim overlooks, and the northernmost, presenting a rather different panorama than that from the other two popular viewing locations further south (Cape Royal and Bright Angel Point).
Imperial sits high above the region where the Grand Canyon first takes on its characteristic wide, branched appearance, since just to the north, the cliffs either side of the Colorado are relatively close (a mile or less), and from here 50 river miles north to the official start of the canyon at Lees Ferry, the gorge is mostly unbranched and more conventional in dimensions.
