Grand Canyon’s Corridor Trails

Grand Canyon National Park has published a very nice and informative brochure on Grand Canyon’s three maintained trails, also known as the Corridor Trails. This 2-page color brochure has tips on hiking safely throughout the year, as well as information on the elevations of various landmarks and campgrounds, trail distances, and average temperatures. Included is a map showing the various services available at each stop (toilets, emergency phones, etc.) and a cross section of the canyon and its rock layers with the trails superimposed on it. Corridor Brochure – 1.09 MB PDF

The Corridor Trails consist of the Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails on the South Rim and the North Kaibab Trail on the North Rim. Below is a table to use as a quick reference for distances to certain landmarks, as well as the availability of water, toilets, emergency phones, ranger stations, and campgrounds at each.
