Review from Ej S.

The 360 view is awesome! If we would've know to skip the skywalk which ran my girlfriend and I about $200 altogether I would've been fully satisfied with the West Rim entirely but they intelligently made guano point the last stop for a reason eventhough it's only 5 mins away.
Guano Point is beautiful! You can see the color change in the canyon, the Colorado river and tons of red rock. I wish I brought a hat and some shoes but I still made the small hike in sandals. On hot sunny days I highly suggest bringing bottled water and snacks due to the outrageously Inflated prices for food and water at each stop. Over all Guano Point was worth the West Rim if nothing else.
Would I go there again .... Probably not but if you live in the US or visiting it is one of the natural wonders of the world and that's good enough for me. -

This is an alternative to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Way better view and don't have to break your piggy bank.
This is the second stop after the Skywalk. This is also where you will eat your food served in a styrofoam plate. Your only choice is to eat al fresco under a tent.
Guano Point used to be the mining community for Bat's Droppings. They used the droppings called Guano for making bullets.
The view is priceless! While I was eating my barbecue beef I was truly amazed at the grandness of the Grand Canyon! The multiple layers of rocks and red and green hues surrounding them can not be compared.
After eating we took the 10 minute hike to the top of a peak where they boast of the 360 view. They don't lie! It's all true!!
No fence. No guards. Darwinism at it's best! I love the idea of no fencing at all. I hiked down as much as i can without getting killed-found safe spot and sat there for a good 15 minutes.
I saw two helicopters fly in between the canyons and they look absolutely tiny!
I suggest this tour instead ;)
