This is a more scenic descent route to the bottom of the canyon than the Bright Angel Trail, as it follows a spectacular ridge. Here’s a South Kaibab trail map (150 kb), showing the popular day-hike turnaround spots. You can see how it connects to the South Kaibab and Tonto trails.
The Bright Angel Trail map (150 kb) highlights the Bright Angel Trailhead and the popular turnaround spots for dayhikes. This one includes more details and topography, as well as inset maps for Phantom Ranch and the Upper Bright Angel Trail. Here’s an updated Grand Canyon hiking map (8.8 mb) to the one above. This Grand Canyon trail map shows Grand Canyon National Park’s three most-used trails: North Kaibab, South Kaibab, and Bright Angel.

If you’re going to be doing a lot of hiking or any backpacking in the Grand Canyon, you’ll want a detailed trail map like the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map, which includes the area between the North and South Rims (Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails). If you want maps that show more of the park backcountry, check out the Grand Canyon East and Grand Canyon West maps (which includes Havasupai).

The blue and black areas on the North Rim indicate a forest fire that was smouldering as the data were acquired on May 12, 2000. The Bright Angel Trail, which reaches the Colorado in 7.7 miles, can be seen dropping into the canyon over Plateau Point at bottom center. The light lines on the plateau at lower right are the roads around the Canyon View Information Plaza. The image data were combined with elevation data to produce this perspective view, with no vertical exaggeration, looking from above the South Rim up Bright Angel Canyon towards the North Rim. Visible and near infrared data were combined to form an image that simulates the natural colors of water and vegetation. The above view was acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument aboard the Terra spacecraft. The strata along the steep walls of the canyon form a record of geologic time from the Paleozoic Era (250 million years ago) to the Precambrian (1.7 billion years ago).
Carved primarily by the Colorado River over the past six million years, the canyon sports vertical drops of 5,000 feet and spans a 277-mile-long stretch of Arizona desert.
The Grand Canyon is one of North America's most spectacular geologic features.
