What to expect

The South Kaibab Trail is a hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States. It is a well-defined, well-maintained dirt trail offering wonderful expansive views of the Grand Canyon. The trail follows a ridge out to Skeleton Point, allowing for 360-degree views of the canyon. The trail is steep and difficult, with little shade and no water along the way, making it a challenging hike, especially during summer months. The trailhead is located off of the Yaki Point Road, and the trail descends from the South Rim to the Colorado River, passing through various rock layers and formations. The trail is suitable for experienced hikers and offers breathtaking views of the Grand Canyon

This family's experience:

Activities: We planned to do the South Kebab Trail, which descends into the Canyon, but Agnès got sick so we couldn't do it. The hike is round trip, so you can turn back whenever you want. The elevation gain is significant, and it is the return that is difficult, so plan ahead. The hike starts south of Yaki Point

Highlights: We enjoyed the scenic views of the Grand Canyon and the variety of hiking trails available in the park. We all enjoyed the grandeur of the Grand Canyon and the diverse hiking trails ✨
