After being closed for two years for restoration, Inspiration Point that overlooks what some consider the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River reopened last week.

Yellowstone National Park announced the opening of the lookout last week in a press release and said the reconstruction created an expanded viewing area that is safer and more accessible.

“The design of the new overlook uses natural materials to protect the natural setting and integrate the infrastructure into the canyon’s spires and cliffs,” Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk said. “I’m excited for our visitors to experience Inspiration Point in a new way.”

The overlook is one of eight in a necklace that travels along the canyon area and is connected by 5 miles of trails constructed between 1930 and 1950. After decades of hosting millions of visitors, natural erosion has taken its toll on the structures, according to the release.

Inspiration Point is the fourth overlook to be renovated since 2005, when Lookout Point and Grand View were reopened for visitors. Artist Point was completed in 2007. Uncle Tom’s Point and parts of the South Rim Trail, the fifth project, are expected to reopen later this fall.

The park said the rehabilitation work done for both Inspiration Point and Uncle Tom’s Point cost $12 million, which was paid for in part by Yellowstone Forever, the park’s nonprofit partner.

After reopening Uncle Tom’s Point, the park said it would immediately break ground on the Brink of the Upper Falls, which it said would be closed through 2019.

The final two projects, Brink of the Lower Falls and Red Rock Point, will begin construction as early as 2020 and are estimated to cost $10 million. Yellowstone Forever is seeking donations to leverage $4.5 million in federal matching funds for the construction.
