Summary

edit
Description
English: The original Grandview Trail was created to connect the canyon rim with copper mines on Horseshoe Mesa. The well constructed trail eventually was used more for tourists than miners, as it provided one of the best access routes into the canyon during the early years of the 20th Century

This photo shows a side view of several ramps made from dirt filled log "cribs" that were chained or pinned to the limestone cliff faces to provide a foundation for the trail. There definitely is some exposure in this section.

This trail is VERY steep! In the summer much of the trail is in full sun. In the winter ice and snow can make hiking treacherous. Always use caution on the Grandview Trail.
