Recommended Hikes

The following table lists a large number of possible suggestions for hiking and backpacking adventures in the Canyon. Please use caution when planning your backcountry trip, check the trail descriptions and make sure you understand what you are getting yourself into. Backcountry hikers are responsible for their own safety and a mistake made because of a poorly planned trip can cost you your life. Even if you don't die evacuation is expensive and you will be billed for the helicopter flight out.

You should always check water availability along your planned route at the Backcountry Office before beginning your hike. Many Canyon springs, especially along the south side of the river, are seasonal at best. It's a real drag to be out of water in the Canyon and to find out that your next water source has dried up. Always be prepared for the worst.

Please note that the total mileage shown for some of the multi-day hikes is not quite accurate. This is the only the case when one or more of the campsites used on a trip is an "at-large" site and is not a designated site. Due to overlaps between designated sites in one area and at-large camping in another it is impossible to calculate an accurate total mileage without knowing where a person will be camping. The mileages used when crossing an area where at-large camping is permitted are the minimum, maximum and average (center point) miles that it will take to cross that area. The minimum should be used if you camp on the boundary between that use area and the one you were just in, the maximum if you cross all the way to the other side of the use area and the average if you camp near the midpoint. When your trip involves at-large camping in non-designated sites you should check the trail descriptions and topo maps for the given trail or area when deciding where to camp and to calculate actual mileages for given days.
