The Rim Trail runs for approximately 13 miles along the south rim of the Grand Canyon, offering stunning and easily accessible views of the massive canyon below. There are multiple access points and shuttle stops that can be used to customize hikes of varying distances and the trail is relatively flat and mostly paved making it a good choice for hikers of any skill level. This section of the trail starts from Grand Canyon Village on the south rim and heads west to the overlook at Hopi Point. Parking is not allowed for private vehicles at Hopi Point between March 1st and November 30th but shuttles are available for hikers who want to cover the trail one-way and hitch a ride back to the visitor center. The trip can also be done as a longer out-and-back hike if desired. Dogs are allowed on the trails but not on the shuttle buses.
