"A more spectacular trail does not exist anywhere in the world." When I'm asked about South Kaibab Trail, that's pretty much what I say.

In this in-depth Trails of the Grand Canyon guide, see for yourself what all the fuss is about, and why if you're going to take on one trail in the Grand Canyon, the stunning South Kaibab is the one.

Great video! I'm 66, my first hike in the Grand Canyon I went rim2rim, down the South Kaibab and up the North Kaibab. This was 2.5 months ago. The last 5miles were very tough, but I'm so glad I gave it a go :).

I really enjoyed this video. Your idea about taking a taxi was really good. I am planning on going to Skeleton Point and back in April, your idea about going three more switchbacks to a fantastic view was a good one and I will definitely consider doing that. It was a shame that it was overcast when you were at that viewpoint because the colours were muted.

After all the videos on the hikes in Grand canyon, this hike definitely looks the best. I'm planning to go hike down to PR then up Bright Angel. Hopefully by the end of the month.

Thanks for the amazing guide!! Can’t wait to be hiking out there! You didn’t encounter any mountain lions coyotes rattlesnakes or any danger while hiking the canyon in general?

Can't you just walk the 4 miles from the bright angel trail head to the south Kaibab trail head?
