Stop At: Grandview Trail, Arizona 86023, USA
The Grandview Trail has sweeping views of the Grand Canyon and a distant view of the Colorado River. It is a very steep, narrow trail with large steps down, with the upper switchbacks cutting through a steep drop-off as you descend into the canyon. This is not the trail for anyone who is afraid of heights. Since the trail is 10 miles east of the Grand Canyon Village, you get a different perspective of Grand Canyon’s buttes and mesas. The trail is rich in history of miners building the trail to access one of the Grand Canyon’s only profitable copper mines. The mine is on Horseshoe Mesa, three miles down the trail. Much of this trail work with log cribbing and cobblestone “riprap†remains intact from its 1892 construction.
Elevation change: Coconino Saddle -1,000 ft., Horseshoe Mesa - 2,500 ft.
Duration: 7 hours
Pass By: Horseshoe Mesa, Arizona 86023, USA
Horse Shoe Mesa is a place unto itself – an oasis in the world of sandstone cliffs, soaring crags and deep canyons. Lush meadows and verdant forests crowned by ponderosa pines and juniper trees surround the twin horseshoe-shaped mesas.
