北緣景觀道路的五個觀景點:
Narrows View
遊覽完Chasm View Nature Trail後由North Rim露營區開車循原路經 Ranger Station回到G74 Rd與Black Canyon Rd岔路取右仍沿G74 Rd南行,行約0.6哩即抵達Narrows View觀景點,此點最好的景色是東南邊的Gunnison 河流上游方向,距對岸最近距離約750呎/229公尺。

Balanced Rock View
距Narrows View不遠的觀景點即是Balanced Rock View,此觀景點右側有一顆平衡石,觀景點名稱可能因此而得名;由此點往南看可看到多條陡峭岩壁下的支流,及一條所謂” Long Draw”的陡峭山徑通往河谷,該山徑約半哩長,下降約1,800呎,所以又稱為” Devil's Slide"。

Big Island View
在Big Island View看峽谷上游就比較寬了,峽谷兩側的山壁也沒那麼陡峭,但也更加多變,部分山壁樹木繁茂,偶被岩壁溝壑分割開來,此點可較明顯再次俯瞰到河谷的湍急流水。

Island Peaks View
從Big Island View 順著道路蜿蜒到下個觀景點Island Peaks View,在此點看到的懸崖分裂更為明顯,河谷大部分隱藏在峭壁、樹林之間不易看見,此點是公園中最好和最不尋常的觀景點之一。

Kneeling Camel View
此點是北緣景觀道路的最後一個觀景點, 隔著峽谷正西邊是南緣的Pulpit Rock Overlook ,西南邊則是南緣的遊客中心及Gunnison Point。
