Plan the approach

Point Sublime is on the canyon’s south rim. The source description calling it the north rim is incorrect. Stay back from edges and check current trail conditions. [13]

Keep the day workable

Make it an extension of a south-rim visit, rather than a separate drive to a different rim.

Choose your next step

Compare the current park-road status, the actual overnight location and the time needed for the return before adding another stop. [1]
