Canada's second-largest city, Montreal, is a flourishing urban center with a broad mix of cultural attractions and a mix of French and English flair to lend this destination affable foreign airs.
Buck Farm Overlook Scenic Drive takes you off the east rim of the Grand Canyon into House Rock Valley. As the Kaibab Plateau spreads out to the west, rolling pinyon and juniper woodlands cross the buffalo range.
The overlook offers a spectacular view of Marble Canyon and the Colorado River, with the Vermilion Cliffs to the north and Navajo Mountain to the east.
The route encompasses dirt roads suitable for passenger vehicles in dry weather.
