Best Spot to see Sunrise at the Grand Canyon-Mather Point

Mather Point is 'the' place to watch sunrise at Grand Canyon South Rim. It is an outcrop of rock stretching out into the canyon with a fantastic vantage point for sunrise. You can easily see the sun rising to the East and watch as the canyon lights up to the West.
It is important to know when the sun rises and when it sets on the Grand Canyon. Remember that we are in Arizona, therefore, the official time zone is Mountain Standard Time. Arizona, however, is the only state in the U.S. (besides Hawaii) that does not apply daylight saving time in the summer. If you’re planning a road trip between Utah, Arizona and the Navajo Nation (where Monument Valley is located), you should pay close attention to time zone changes.
Here is a list of the approximate times for each month of the year.
January: Sunrise 7:30 am, sunset 5:30 pm
February: Sunrise 7:20 am, sunset 6:00 pm
March: Sunrise 6:45 am, sunset 6:30 pm
April: Sunrise 6:05 am, sunset 6:55 pm
May: Sunrise 5:30 am, sunset 7:20 pm
June: Sunrise 5:10 am, sunset 7:45 pm
July: Sunrise 5:20 am, sunset 7:45 pm
August: Sunrise 5:40 am, sunset 7:25 pm
September: Sunrise 6:05 am, sunset 6:45 pm
October: Sunrise 6:30 am, sunset 5:55 pm
November: Sunrise 7:00 am, sunset 5:25 pm
December: Sunrise 6:30 am, sunset 5:15 pm
In order not to miss the moment when the colors of the sky gradually change as the sun goes up or down, always make sure you arrive well in advance.
Arrive half an hour before sunrise, so you can fully appreciate the transition from the darkness of night to sunrise.
