NORTH KAIBAB TRAIL - ROARING SPRINGS

The trailhead is 3 km from the Grand Canyon Lodge and leads past Roaring Springs (where we suggest you turn around) to the Phantom Ranch hut and Bright Angel Creek. This is the only groomed trail from the North Rim down into the canyon. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to hike from the North Rim to the river and back in a day! If you have any doubts about your ability, just do the Coconino Overlook (2.4 km round trip) or the Supai Tunnel (6.5 km round trip).
