| Trail Ride | Code: | 292 |
| Experience the beauty of the Grand Canyon in a very special way, by taking a ride into the depth of the most spectacular |
| canyon in the world. After spending the night at the "North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge" (your home for the night will be |
| reserved in a room at one of the "Frontier Cabins") your program starts at 7:30 am with a transfer to the North Kaibab |
| Trailhead located about 3.2 km North of the lodge. The mules will be saddled and waiting for your arrival. After a short |
| orientation, the adventure begins. The ½-day ride will take you down the trail to the Supai Tunnel. The full-day ride continues |
| even further down to Roaring Springs, where the North Kaibab Trail merges with the famous Bright Angel Trail. The section |
| to Roaring Springs is one of the steepest parts of the North Kaibab Trail. The difference in altitude between North Rim Grand |
| Canyon and Roaring Springs is more than 1130 meters or 3700 feet! On the ½-day ride you’ll reach Coconino View Point and |
| Supai Tunnel after 2.9 km or 1,7 miles. On the all-day ride you continue on to the breath taking Redwall Bridge and after |
| approx. 5.75 km or 3.5 miles you reach the "Eye of the Needle". In 1928 a pump station servicing the Union Pacific Railroad |
| was built there. Today it’s home to a park ranger. In addition a snack stand, helicopter pad and campground can be found |
| there. Returning to the lodge after your ½-day trip you’ll continue on to your next destination. The full-day trip includes |
| another night at North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge. |
