When you step onto a trail below the rim of Grand Canyon, you are walking in the footsteps of ancient people on a path that reveals the Earth's history. More than 400 miles of trails lead visitors through a geological and ecological marvel, on a journey of connection, escape, and perspective.
Tens of thousands of hikers travel from around the world each year to test their endurance and skill on Grand Canyon's steep terrain. Each year, wind, water, and time take their toll on these historic trails.
Your gift to trails protects natural habitats and improves hiker safety, ensuring that our trails remain world-class forever.
