Backpack, Camp, and Hike
A rigorous rim-to-river backpack of three or more days, following one of the South Rim's more difficult trails. The unmaintained trail, recommended only for seasoned hikers, is relentlessly steep, rocky, shadeless, and waterless until you reach the Colorado river. The tread is well worn and generally easy to follow, and the route offers access in one long day to one of the most scenic beach campsites in the canyon. Courtesy of AllTrails.com
