The Rim Trail leads along the South Rim for about 14 miles and offers some of the best views into the Grand Canyon. The western endpoint is Hermit's Rest, the eastern endpoint is the South Kaibab Trailhead. The trail is mainly paved, but especially in the west there is still a narrow hiking trail along the edge of the canyon.

If you take the red bus to Hermit's rest and go back the trail you have one of the most beautiful views
