Stop At: North Kaibab Trail, North Kaibab Trailhead, Arizona 86022
If you’re wondering why we’ve given you such a large timespan at the North Kaibab Trailhead, it’s because this one is a bit tricky. This is one of the most famous trails at both rims of the Canyon, because this is the one that connects them! The North Kaibab Trail itself descends to the Canyon floor, where it eventually connects to the South Kaibab and Bright Angel trails to ascend out of the Canyon at the South Rim. Many adventurers prefer to camp at various locations near the Canyon floor. Beginner hikers or travelers without proper hiking gear should not attempt to hike this trail. So why are we including it here? Well, the North Kaibab Trail passes through every ecosystem from Canada to Mexico! Even if you’re not hiking the whole way down, it’s definitely worth a bit of exploration! Walk as far as you’re comfortable, take some great pictures, and give high fives to the Rim to Rim hikers as they ascend the Canyon!
