Challenge yourself to a short but incredibly sweet adventure, hiking from the South Rim down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up the next day with a well-earned night in the comfort of Phantom Ranch in between. You'll cover 17 miles on two of the park's most scenic corridor trails, descending almost 4,800 feet along the spectacular South Kaibab Trail to the banks of the Colorado River, and climbing back up to the rim on famed Bright Angel Trail, enjoying classic Grand Canyon views the entire way. Although the hiking can be demanding at times, this trip provides a fantastic opportunity for very fit hikers to enjoy a truly immersive experience in the Grand Canyon wilderness.
