Hiking in the Grand Canyon is so demanding that even people in excellent condition often emerge sore and fatigued. Backcountry rangers recommend that hikers make their first trip into the inner canyon on one of the park’s Corridor trails: Bright Angel Trail, South Kaibab Trail, or North Kaibab Trail.

Q. Can you hike to the river in the Grand Canyon?
DO NOT attempt to hike from the rim to the river and back in one day, especially during the months of May to September. Both the South Rim and the North Rim offer rim trail hikes that have spectacular views of the inner canyon, some on paved trails. Or you can choose to day hike into the canyon.
Q. How do you find your way back with a compass?
Take a Heading
- Determine the direction you want to go.
- Take your eyes away from the compass and make your way toward the object.
- The reverse method is to first point the direction-of-travel arrow in the direction you want to go, and then rotate the compass center until the north needle and north markings line up.
