    Tips

    Hiking

    Following a dirt trail instead of the paved Greenway trail gets you to this point, where you are literally just a footstep from the edge. You should not be afraid of heights and have a sure foot, but you will be rewarded with a view and solitude that is unique to the South Rim.
