South Kaibab Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Went down to Cedar Ridge, took about an hour and a half on account of making multiple stops to take photos. It was wise to start around 9am, there was shade for a lot of the hike and didn’t get too hot in the canyon. Many people stopped at Ooh Aah but I think it was worth the extra distance to go...

Cedar Ridge
Hiking area
👍👍 Cedar Ridge was a great place to rest on our Grand Canyon hike. There were restrooms here and great views. It is about 5% of the way down to the Ranch at the bottom of the canyon. Rest under the shade of the tree before you start your way back to the top. Remember, there are no rescues in the Grand...

The views in this section of the park are absolutely incredible and take your breath away. Unfortunately, you're gonna need your breath if you decide to hike here, because although t...

Shoshone Point Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 I found this trail on AllTrails and we did it as a family of four with a five and seven year old. I think it took us two hours round-trip, but that’s because we stayed at the view point for awhile and also because of the snow. When we went, there was still 2 feet of snow. The trail was mostly packed...

Hermit Trailhead
Hiking area
👍 Hermit's hiking trail is a tough one. Not to be compared with, for example, "Bright Angel". The path, if you can even call it a path, is sometimes very steep and you have to climb over one or two rocks. Apparently there is no drinking water along the way. There are only a few hikers here.
