Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The original Grandview Trail was created to connect the canyon rim with copper mines on Horseshoe Mesa. This well constructed trail eventually was used more for tourists than miners, as it provided one of the best access routes into the canyon during the early years of the 20th Century.
This photo shows a ramp made from dirt filled log "cribs" that were chained or pinned to limestone cliff faces to provide a foundation for the trail. There definitely is some exposure in this section. This trail is VERY steep! In the summer much of the trail is in full sun. In the winter ice and snow can make hiking treacherous. Always use caution on the Grandview Trail. [Image description: an early morning 360 spherical panorama that shows a switchback corner at the bottom of a series of narrow steps that descend through a cliff face. At a point where the trail levels out, a hiker is visible, with the Grand Canyon landscape off in the distance.] NPS/M.Quinn |
