Grand Canyon Rim Trail
Route Name: Rim Trail
Start Elevation: 6,817 ft.
End Elevation: 7,117 ft.
Distance: 3.12 mi.
Start Time: 6:30am
End Time: 7:48am
Trip Report: For our last morning at the Grand Canyon we had about 2 1/2 hours to work with before the long drive out to Phoenix. We had 3pm flights and I'm usually paranoid about getting there early. We were up right around 5am, tore down our camp, loaded up the car, and head for the Visitor Center parking. There we hopped the Village Shuttle to ride it down to the Bright Angel Trailhead. We actually got off at the shuttle stop titled "Hermit's Rest Route Transfer". The plan was to hike the easy Rim Trail all the way back to the Visitor's Center.
