Hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim is THE classic bucket list adventure and by far one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. It’s sensory overload with stunning views, tons of wildlife, and a solitude you can’t find on the rim. This 24-mile hike from the North Rim to the South Rim is challenging to be sure and preparation is key which is why we’ve compiled dozens of essential hiking tips for going rim to rim.

Note: The National Park Services recently announced a series of trail closures due to construction which will impact access over the next couple of years. This temporary pause could be the perfect opportunity to train and prepare for the experience of a lifetime and exclusive bragging rights. Fewer than one percent of the nearly 6 million annual visitors to the Grand Canyon ever hike to the bottom. Happy Trails!
