North Rim Trails

When hiking North Rim trails, you will not need a park ranger to show you around when you have a “ranger” in your hand

Exploring national park hiking trails is an excellent activity for a family vacation – you enjoy exercise and togetherness among fantastic views and unique plant and animal life. Excellent choices among national parks for your family vacation destination are Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Zion, Bryce Canyon and North Rim trails run the gamut from short jaunts to long, strenuous hikes to rewarding views or one-of-a-kind natural landmarks.

Most North Rim trails lead to panoramic vistas of the deep chasm nearly five million visitors come to see each year. Named one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, an average of 10 miles wide and one-mile deep. An incredible geological showcase, the canyon features an amazing record of three out of the four eras of geologic time. The park is home to fossil specimens, many different types of rock, and caves containing significant paleontological, biological, and geological resources.

While hiking North Rim trails, you can take your own guide along in the form of a GPS Ranger. These handheld navigation systems can pinpoint your exact location on the earth’s surface within 15 feet and provide you with audio-visual content about your immediate surroundings. For instance, when you hike the Bright Angel Point trail, the GPS guide will provide more insight about the viewpoint, which includes Roaring Springs and Bright Angel Canyon, as well as the Grand Canyon Lodge, the trailhead. The handheld guide is not only a resource for trails in the North Rim, but for drives as well. You will not need a park ranger to show you around when you have your own personal “ranger” with you.
