Create an itinerary including Rim Trail

For a non-strenuous hike along the inner canyon coupled with unrestricted views of the spectacular gorge, try Rim Trail inside Grand Canyon National Park. The park, a World Heritage Site, has made hikes along this trail easier thanks to the well-managed, paved terrain. You can appreciate the remarkable views of the 1.6 km (1 mi) deep canyon cut by the Colorado River from any of the viewpoints along the trail. The full trail is 21 km (13 mi) trail, but if you get tired beforehand, there are shuttles that run from various points along the trail throughout the day. For a memorable end-of-day view, head to Hopi Point to watch the sunset. The park urges you to carry water at all times, and remember to wear good walking shoes. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Rim Trail and many more Grand Canyon National Park attractions: make an itinerary online using Klarna Trips Grand Canyon National Park vacation planner.

Very breath taking but look out for ice and snow, park service does not use salt or ice melt on roads nor trails so be prepared

Great easy walk with lots of camera time and some great information along the way. Relatively flat and you can take your time. Even saw a wedding ceremony on our walk.

The Rim Trail which runs along the edge of the Grand Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful. If you don't have too terrible of a fear of heights, it's a wonderful walk.
