About Walhalla Overlook
History unfolds as you explore Walhalla Overlook on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, with views of the Unkar Delta, farmland of the ancient people who once lived here.

Walhalla Overlook is on the Walhalla Plateau on the North Rim of Grand Canyon. It is close to the end of the Cape Royal Road, about one mile before Angel’s Window. Take AZ-67 into Grand Canyon National Park at the North Entrance, but instead of continuing south to the Visitor Center, turn left towards Point Imperial, following the highway to the junction of Cape Royal Road. Turn right onto Cape Royal Road and follow it to the signs for Walhalla Overlook. From Walhalla Overlook webpage

About Grand Canyon National Park
Although first afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest Reserve and later as a National Monument, Grand Canyon did not achieve National Park status until 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service. Today Grand Canyon National Park receives close to five million visitors each year - a far cry from the annual visitation of 44,173 which the park received in 1919.

The oldest human artifacts found are nearly 12,000 years old and date to the Paleo-Indian period. There has been continuous use and occupation of the park since that time.

The park has recorded over 4,300 archeological resources with an intensive survey of over 5% of the park area.

The park's 11 Traditionally Associated Tribes and historic ethnic groups view management of archeological resources as the preservation of their heritage.

Archeological remains from the following culture groups are found in Grand Canyon National Park: Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Basketmaker, Ancestral Puebloan (Kayenta and Virgin branches), Cohonina, Cerbat, Pai, Southern Paiute, Zuni, Hopi, Navajo, and Euro-American.
