Real Traveler reviews for Rim Trail

More information on Rim Trail

Running parallel to the South Loop Road, which is open to vehicular traffic, this trail comes about as close to the Canyon's edge as it is safe to saunter. Classified as a "moderate" trail, it is the perfect choice for a less challenging foray and an ideal walk for kids. The trail extends from Yavapai Point on the east end of the Village to Hermit's Rest on the west. It is an 18-mile round trip, but you can also catch a shuttle bus back to town, if you like. Along the way, you will pass the most popular South Rim attractions.
