Trail Information
The National Park Service completed the cross-canyon “corridor” trail system in 1928— the same year it took control of the Bright Angel Trail. Most trails in Grand Canyon stay within the confines of a side canyon. But the South Kaibab is one of the few trails to follow open ridgelines that provide panoramic views of the main gorge.
