Loved this trail. Best Views in the corridor trail system. Going down this trail was a great challenge than the North Kiabab or the Bright Angel trail. No shade and no water. Make sure your legs...

We were going to partially hike down Bright Angel Trail until a Ranger told us we would get more views for our efforts on the Kaibab Trail. You cannot drive your car to the trailhead (handicap...

We took the trail about half way down, stopping at Cedar Point for a lunch of sandwiches from the General Store. It took under 1.5 hours to go down, and about the same to come back up, with numerous...

No wonder why this is the best way to go down in to the canyons...wide panoramic views, short and steep. If you're going to phantom ranch, you have to take this trail going down; because it's not a...

Most people who visit Yaki Point (the entrance to South Kaibab), only hike down to Ooh-Ooh-Ahh point. That is definitely something to be done for sure, but if you have water and snacks, there's...

Outstanding day hike

We decided on this hike after talking to some of the staff at the Canyon instead of the Bright Angel as it was along a ridge line with great views of the canyon straight off. This was certainly true...

Steep, windy and sun baked

Have hiked the other corridor trails so we decided to see what this one was all about. Within the first 100 yards, Mrs. Nester's hat blew off and Mr. Nester quickly stabbed his hiking pole to hold...

Steep Down and Back

Spectacular views, well laid-out trails. Steep, with a lot of traffic. Going down you don't notice so much, but going up you do! Make way for the mules!

Best trail for views

No water sources on this trail, hopefully everyone knows that in advance. This trail does offer much better views than the Bright Angel trail though. BA does have water. Views are great from each...

Breathtaking and Steep

This is a great trail for hikers who don't mind steep trails. Not for those with vertigo or fear of heights. We did the section from The South Rim to Cedar Ridge with two boys 13 and 9. We're all in...
