Description

The South Kaibab Trail is the most scenic of the Grand Canyon's main trails, with spectacular vistas for just about its entire 6.5 miles. You don't have to go all the way to the Colorado River to get the full Kaibab Experience; in fact, just a two-mile roundtrip can give you views and memories that will last you a lifetime. In this episode, we'll talk about all of the day hike options available on South Kaibab, whether it be out-and-backs to Ooh Aah Point, Cedar Ridge, Skeleton Point, The Tipoff, or even the Phantom Ranch area if you're attempting a Rim-to-Rim or Rim-to-River. Do it once and you'll see for yourself why South Kaibab is the true "can't-miss" trail at the Grand Canyon. ***** The all-new Grand Canyon Shade Tracker is LIVE!!
