Location Information
GENERAL INFORMATION: The Supai formation with its organic layers of rich red sandstone makes its first appearance here. The view is big, deep and breathtaking- unmistakably Grand Canyon. The route to Jenson Viewpoint follows FR 201A Little Springs Road) for 1.3 miles then continues along FR 648 for about 3 miles to the overlook. The ride is short but has a couple of big hills, some rocks, and deep sand. All obstacles are easy to negotiate or walk around. The drops are steep but not precipitous, mostly a problem for coming back up. You may choose to ride out FR 201A also and hike down the trail to Little Spring.
