We were going to partially hike down Bright Angel Trail until a Ranger told us we would get more views for our efforts on the Kaibab Trail. You cannot drive your car to the trailhead (handicap visitors with a sticker can) even though there is a parking lot located there. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the parking... More

We took the trail about half way down, stopping at Cedar Point for a lunch of sandwiches from the General Store. It took under 1.5 hours to go down, and about the same to come back up, with numerous stops to take pictures of the amazing vistas. It's fairly steep, but the trail is so well made it was basically... More

No wonder why this is the best way to go down in to the canyons...wide panoramic views, short and steep. If you're going to phantom ranch, you have to take this trail going down; because it's not a good option for hiking up and you don't want to miss views on this trail. As NPS website would have up-to-date latest... More

Most people who visit Yaki Point (the entrance to South Kaibab), only hike down to Ooh-Ooh-Ahh point. That is definitely something to be done for sure, but if you have water and snacks, there's another look point called Cedar Ridge a half mile below. Beyond that you hit Skeleton Point at 3 miles. And of course, if you're planning it,... More

We decided on this hike after talking to some of the staff at the Canyon instead of the Bright Angel as it was along a ridge line with great views of the canyon straight off. This was certainly true and it was a memorable day. We trekked down just past Skeleton Point with our kids (13 and 8 years) to... More

Have hiked the other corridor trails so we decided to see what this one was all about. Within the first 100 yards, Mrs. Nester's hat blew off and Mr. Nester quickly stabbed his hiking pole to hold it from blowing away. Unfortunately, he just pushed it deeper into the mule poop that it landed on. LOL. Luckily the hat was... More

Spectacular views, well laid-out trails. Steep, with a lot of traffic. Going down you don't notice so much, but going up you do! Make way for the mules!

No water sources on this trail, hopefully everyone knows that in advance. This trail does offer much better views than the Bright Angel trail though. BA does have water. Views are great from each point, Oh Ahh, Cedar Ridge, Skelton Point, Switchbacks just below Skelton Point, Tip Off, etc... Tio Off has the first bathroom you will encounter. Trails are... More

This is a great trail for hikers who don't mind steep trails. Not for those with vertigo or fear of heights. We did the section from The South Rim to Cedar Ridge with two boys 13 and 9. We're all in decent shape, but we still took several short water breaks on the way back out. I think it's three... More
