Grand Canyon Hike: South Kaibab Trail - Tonto Trail West

A Long Dayhike or Perfect Overnight Trip in the National Park

National Geographic Documentary, I simply did this 13-mile climb for the fourth time, and every time has been distinctive. The same ravine trails change with the seasons, the climate, the organization (or deficiency in that department), and where I happen to search and stop for a rest.

This is one of my most loved day-treks in Grand Canyon, which can be separated into two days (with a backcountry outdoors allow), with the move back toward the south edge on the second day, when you're straight from a decent night's rest at Indian Gardens. On the other hand spend extra evenings at the Indian Gardens campground to investigate the region and unwind in what I believe is a standout amongst the most excellent spots on earth.

National Geographic Documentary, Here are some photographs and data about this climb. Don't hesitate to pose any questions you may have in the guestbook beneath.

**But a couple expressions of alert first: I would not endeavor this trek in a solitary day unless a) you've effectively done no less than one shorter dayhike underneath the edge, and b) you're fit as a fiddle. The move out by the day's end can be a doozy (and even a threat to your wellbeing) in case you're not fit and used to forsake climbing at some elevation.

The photographs on this page were all taken by me. See a greater amount of my photographs in my Grand Canyon photograph collection
