アリゾナ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

この息をのむような景色を前に、この道を少し歩くことを強くお勧めします。それだけの価値はあります。

This is the place for all your trip planning and information needs, or to use the restroom and refill your water before heading out. And of course the views are stunning! If you have the time, duck inside to watch either of two 24-minute movies to orient you to the park and the 11 Indigenous tribes that have lived here since time immemorial.

This is a great rest stop or turnaround point on your run. Expect vault toilets and shade, and during the summer there's usually potable water here, too. Always check current conditions before you set out, though, because sometimes the water is turned off for maintenance projects. It's usually turned off during the winter, too.

We're all here for the incredible panoramic views; the elevation gain to get here also makes this a satisfying turnaround point if you're out for a short run. There is a pit toilet here (no running water). Use with caution and consider noseplugs. Hopefully it goes without saying that heat is a serious consideration here, as is lack of water (there is none available on the ridge).

There is no parking at the trailhead for the South Kaibab Trail. If you need parking, you can leave your car at the Visitor Center, then take the Kaibab Route shuttle bus to the trailhead. The trail itself is a wonderfully well maintained dirt trail that gives you amazing views.

Sweeping views of the lower canyon open up before you as you reach the point. You are about halfway down to Bright Angel, and the second major vertical section of the trail switchbacks away beneath you. Skeleton Point is so named for the unexpected discovery of the skeletons of old miners.

The Rim Trail stretches 13 miles from the South Kaibab Trailhead to Hermits Rest, offering a mostly paved, very well-defined trail. The trail is mostly flat and ideal for an easy hike. The views into the Grand Canyon are unbeatable, and there are shaded areas to take advantage of in hot weather. In winter, surfaces may be slippery or icy, so traction devices are recommended, and summer brings the risk of lightning during thunderstorms. Leashed pets are allowed on the trail but not on park shuttle buses. The trail is wheelchair accessible from Lookout Studio to the South Kaibab Trailhead, with dirt sections west of Bright Angel Lodge.
