Saddle Mountain Wilderness Area, Marble Point overlook, Sunrise. Autumn Colors.
This overlook, southeast of East Rim Viewpoint, provides another perspective of Saddle Mountain Wilderness, Marble Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs and beyond. From AZ 67 in De Motte Park ( mile south of the North Rim Country Store), turn east miles on Forest Road 611, right miles on 610, then left miles on 219 to its end. No camping is allowed within half a mile of the viewpoint. Saddle Mountain Wilderness This 40,610-acre wilderness includes part of the densely forested Kaibab Plateau, along with sheer cliffs and narrow canyons that drop to House Rock Valley. Mountain lions and mule deer roam the area. North Canyon Wash is noted for its pure strain of native Apache trout. Saddle Mountain (elev. 8,424 feet), visible from Point Imperial, stands at the south end of the wilderness. Saddle Mountain/Nankoweap and North Canyon Trails cross the wilderness from the Kaibab Plateau to House Rock Valley.
