Given the rugged terrain, it’s smart to come prepared for more off-road conditions .
Of course, we were still treated to similarly epic views of the canyon. We enjoyed those views along a partial descent into the North Kaibab Trail, at Bright Angel Point during sunrise and sunset, and especially from the back porch of the fantastic, where we overnighted in a partial view cabin. We even sang classic rock songs with park rangers after sundown, which was totally unexpected but smile-inducing.
All those people largely come for two of the greatest day hikes in the entire world: The Narrows, a 10 mile round trip shallow river hike into sometimes 20 feet wide and 2,000 feet tall canyons; and Angel’s Landing, a now permitted-only 5 mile hike to the top that we were unable to secure given its popularity.
