The best hike in the Grand Canyon combines two trails, which traverse the mile-deep canyon, and takes two days. From the South Kaibab Trailhead, descend seven miles via ridges and spend the night ...
All of the connecting trails provide access to and from the Grand Canyon south rim, while the Bright Angel Trail and South Kaibab Trail both provide access to the Colorado River, and the north rim via the North Kaibab Trail. [1] At Garnet Canyon, the Tonto Trail officially ends, but a trail continues along the Colorado River to Elves Chasm.
The trail is paved over its entire 0.75 miles (1.2 km) length. This easy trail follows a ridge line at the end of the Bright Angel Peninsula to Bright Angel Point, which offers a panoramic view of the canyon from its north side. Portions of the Cottonwood Campground, 4,000 feet (1,200 m) below rim, are visible from the end of the trail.
The trail is accessible by use of U.S. Forest Service roads along the south rim of Grand Canyon. The trailhead is located in a remote area of the park's south rim and is accessible from Rowe Well Road or Forest Service Road #328. It generally takes 1½ to 2 hours to negotiate the 29 mile (47 km) trip from Grand Canyon Village, Arizona.
