    Tips

    April 5, 2023

    The one mile long Rim Rock Nature Trail connects the South Rim Visitor Center with the South Rim Campground. About halfway down the trail, it passes Tomichi Point, and for the Wilderness Permit Holders the Tomichi Route. The trail follows the canyon rim and offers beautiful views of the canyon, the Gunnison River, and the West Elk Mountains. It is considered a pretty easy hike but keep an eye out for loose rocks.
