What To Expect

South Kaibab Trail

The South Kaibab Trail offers incredible panoramic view since most of it descends into the canyon along a ridge. It is one of three “Corridor” trails, which are about four feet wide and don’t descend as steeply as other Grand Canyon trails. After hiking down about a mile, you arrive at “Ooh Aah Point”, a scenic viewpoint where the side canyon opens up and you can see the canyon all around you. At 1.5 miles, you reach Cedar Ridge, which has an outhouse as well as a prominent flat ridge you can walk out on . Continuing down, the panoramic views start to change as you descend further into the canyon. Being on a ridge, this trail has fewer plants and little shade. You can expect to see mules sharing this trail with you. Elevation change: Ooh Aah Pt. - 760 ft., Cedar Ridge - 1,100 ft., Skeleton Pt. - 2,000 ft.
