From the NPS Website: The original Grandview Trail was developed to connect the rim with copper mines on Horseshoe Mesa. The well-built trail eventually provided access to more tourists than miners, as Grandview Point provided one of the best access routes into the canyon at that time. The trail is a rocky, steep trail that is best discovered with a local hiking guide.
The hike is approximately 1 mile round trip, and approximately 1 hour in duration. The distance hiked, and duration of hike, will vary wildly based on the customer fitness levels.
