Plateau Point, Cliff viewpoint in Grand Canyon National Park, United States.
Plateau Point extends from the Tonto Platform at an elevation of 3,789 feet, offering views of Garden Creek Canyon and Pipe Creek Canyon intersections.
The geological formations at Plateau Point reveal the Great Unconformity, demonstrating extended periods without rock layer formation through different time periods.
The location serves as an observation point for researchers studying the geological layers of Tapeats Sandstone and their formation patterns over time.
