North Kaibab Trail

The North Kaibab Trail is the only maintained trail into the Canyon from the north rim. It takes you 14 miles from its trailhead to its terminus at Bright Angel Campground and the Colorado River. The trail is well maintained and easy to follow throughout its entire length. The top portion, 4.7 miles from the trailhead to Roaring Springs, is very steep and is by far the most difficult section, especially if you are climbing out. With the round trip distance to the river being 28 miles, this is not recommended as a day hike.

The North Kaibab Trail starts at the head of Roaring Springs Canyon. This 14.2-mile trail decends 5,840 feet to the river and Phantom Ranch, following Bright Angel Creek. Only experienced hikers in good physical conditions should use the trail. Be sure to obtain a copy of the Bright Angel Trail and Kaibab Trails pamphlet before embarking. Overnight hikers must obtain a camping permit and make camping resevations.
