Hike and Horseback
The Bridle Path located at the Grand Canyon's North Rim connects the Grand Canyon Lodge with the North Kaibab Trailhead and is lined with large rocks.
The Bridle Path trail is located in the North Rim Section of the Grand Canyon National Park. The trail runs along the rim east of the Visitor Center and parking area to the campground and beyond to the North Kaibab and Ken Patrick trails. The trail can be combined with the Transept trail to form a loop.
The Bridle Path provides a place near the campground and Visitor Center for a peaceful hike. The trail would probably be classified as easy were it not for the overall distance and the elevation change. Visitors hiking only as far as the campground can look forward to an easy and pleasant stroll. Courtesy of gjhikes.com
