South Kaibab Trail

South Kaibab Trail is a major Grand Canyon National Park route in Arizona, descending from the South Rim to the Colorado River and continuing to the junction with the River Trail and North Kaibab Trail. Following a ridge for much of its course, it is known for sweeping open views, including a full panorama at Skeleton Point, and for exposing a striking sequence of the canyon’s rock layers from the rim to the river. Maintained as a National Park Service corridor trail and part of the Arizona Trail, it is popular yet demanding, with steep grades, little water, tightly controlled overnight use, and serious hazards including heat, storms, loose footing, rockfall, and flash flooding.
