Bright Angel Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

One of the two corridor trails in Grand Canyon with stunning views into the canyon itself. You just have to go some miles... but not too far, since you have to walk up all the way back. If you are an experienced and ambitious hiker, you can do a multiday hike into the canyon from Bright Angel Trailhead. Moreover this is the end of a Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim backpacking adventure. Note that you will need to have a backcountry permit! Permits for the so-called corridor trails are very popular, so make sure you apply four month prior to your trip. You can find more information visiting: nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry-permit.htm

Bus shuttle will get you to and from the trailhead into Grand Canyon Village with connections to Tusayan and the backcountry office, where you can park you car for a backcountry adventure.

Hopi Point viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hopi Point is an amazing view point into the depth of the Grand Canyon. Since it is the northernmost spot in the area of the canyon, you will be able to see as far as 20 miles. Look closely and you can see Havasupai Point and the Great Scenic Divide. Around 2,000 feet below is Dana Butte and you might spot some hikers on the Tonto Trail down there.

This view point is even more stunning around sunset. To get here, take the red route shuttle and get off the bus at stop number four.

South Kaibab Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

The South Kaibab Trailhead is leading to one of the two corridor trails through the Grand Canyon: the South Kaibab Trail. There is no parking at the trailhead. To get here, you have to take the shuttle (orange line) that starts at the visitors center. There are restrooms at the trailhead and a water spigot. If you plan to hike down the canyon, take plenty of water with you and avoid the heat. There is no shade or water source on the trail. Be aware that the way down is the easy part. Always remember that you have to climb all the way out.

The South Kaibab Trail is also part of the 800 mile Arizona National Scenic Trail that stretches from the Mexican border to Utah stateline.
