Tuckup Trail - Toroweap Valley

Toroweap Valley

The Toroweap Overlook occurs at a transition point of the west Grand Canyon. The Toroweap Fault has caused a down-faulted section to the west. Lava Falls, and Vulcan's Throne are two landforms produced by the Uinkaret volcanic field viewed to the west and northwest. One of the Colorado River's major rapids, Lava Falls Rapids can be seen in the river, the blockage at the base of Lava Falls. The Tuckup trail traverses the bases of Toroweap Point, Big Point (Tuckup Point), and 12-mi east, SB Point.
