We chose to hike the North Kaibab Trail. There is a parking lot at the trailhead but it fills early. The trail will take you down to the Colorado River but don't attempt to do it back & forth as a day trip. We took it just a little past the Redwall Bridge.
Trail Details:
Difficult
Distance: 6.5 miles
Elevation gain: 2,555 feet
Time: 4 1/2 hrs
Loop: no
Description: the first 1-2 miles is shaded. After that, there is no shade. Bring plenty of water.
After 0.7 miles, stop at the first overlook--Coconino Overlook.
You'll come to the Supai Tunnel after another 1.3 miles.
You can see the Redwall Bridge in the distance.
Prior to the bridge, you'll come upon this wall. If needed, you can stop and have some shade.
We continued beyond the bridge for a short distance.
We turned around when the trail continued to descend.
