Such a great trail. Rolling terrain through pine forests. You are rewarded with amazing views of the canyon with very few people fighting for a photo op. It must be just long enough at 4.2 miles round trip to keep most people from stopping. I would give it 2 out of five on the difficulty scale. We spent 10 days visiting 7 National Parks and this was our favorite hike.

This trailhead is truly one of the best-kept secrets we've discovered. If you're in search of a hike that offers stunning, seemingly secluded views of the North Rim without being overly challenging, your search ends here. Spanning roughly 2 miles with gentle terrain, this hike transitions from lush, dense forests to the breathtaking vistas of the Grand Canyon.
