The Kaibab Plateau is an island surrounded by lower elevations. The plateau, with elevation up to 9,215 feet (2,800 m) is bordered on the south by the Grand Canyon, on the east and the west by tributary canyons of the Colorado River, and on the North by tiers of uplifted cliffs.
The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [2] [3] ... Kaibab Plateau: 9,224 ft 2812 m: 3,610 ft 1100 m:
The North Rim area of the park is located on the Kaibab Plateau and Walhalla Plateau, directly across the Grand Canyon from the principal visitor areas on the South Rim. The North Rim's principal visitor areas are centered around Bright Angel Point. The North Rim is higher in elevation than the South Rim, at over 8,000 feet (2,400 m) of elevation.

Buckskin Gulch region at the northeast end of Buckskin Mountain, August 2009. The ridge lies at the north end of the Kaibab Plateau, of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; the Kanab and Paria [4] plateaus of Arizona, lie southwest, and southeast.
The geology of The Dragon prominence is a ~250 to 300 ft layer of cliff-forming, whitish Kaibab Limestone. Its hardness supports an approximately horizontal tableland of Ponderosa Pine forest. Below the Kaibab is an even larger unit of the slope-forming Toroweap Formation. The slope is modestly vegetated, and has large areas of erosion debris ...
The summit of this prominence has an elevation of 6,729 ft (2,051 m) and lies about 1 mi (1.6 km) southeast of the Grand Scenic Divide, and 1 mi (1.6 km) west of Havasupai Point. This summit lies almost level with the surface of the adjacent tableland of the South Rim, the forested Kaibab Plateau. [4] East aspect of Fossil Mountain in 1901
