River Trail

River Trail is a short but significant corridor route in Grand Canyon National Park, linking the Bright Angel Trail, Phantom Ranch, Bright Angel Campground by way of Silver Bridge, and the South Kaibab Trail, with connections onward to Black Suspension Bridge and the North Kaibab Trail. Rather than a destination, it functions as part of the canyon’s main rim-to-river and cross-river trail network. The park maintains and patrols it regularly, but conditions can change quickly; storms in late July and early August 2006 badly eroded sections in the sand dunes area. Water is available nearby, camping is not allowed on the trail itself, and hikers face serious inner-canyon hazards.
