don't drive/hike Grand Canyon National Park Hiking Review

Some places you can't get to without hiking. So, if you are capable or capable of getting into shape, please try it. This shot is taken from the hike to Ribbon Falls, over halfway across the Grand Canyon. This is a place you cannot get to by mule. Sure, you can take the mule down to Phantom Ranch. If that is what you like, please do but if you are staying at Phantom Ranch for a couple nights, take this fantastic day hike to Ribbon Falls. It's a whole other Grand Canyon when you get out of your car and away from the crowds.

Equipment: Sturdy boots are a must, and good sun gear. Start early as it gets hot later in the day. Carry at least two liters of water per person and really that is just barely enough. If you have a filter or some other water purification method, you can refill at Ribbon Falls.

Address: Rim:Bright Angel, S. Kaibab, Grandview, Hermit

Directions: A good five or six miles on the Kaibab trail heading towards the North Rim from Phantom Ranch on a hot dry trail.
