What to Expect When Hiking Arizona’s Rim-to-Rim Trail


Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Brad Blaicher is the owner and CEO of OnSite Temp Housing, an award-winning company that provides temporary housing solutions, including RV sales and rentals for insurance companies and contractors. Aside from his professional responsibilities, Brad Blaicher enjoys a range of personal interests, including hiking.

The state of Arizona offers numerous hiking areas to explore, featuring a range of natural highlights such as cliffs, slot canyons, hoodoos, and more. One of the state’s best hikes is the Rim-to-Rim Trail in the Grand Canyon. This hike starts at the North Kaibab Trail and covers a total of 47 miles over the 3 to 5 days required to complete it.

The best time to hike the Rim-to-Rim Trail is in the spring and autumn seasons, though the daytime heat is very intense during this part of the year. This hike permits exploration of the canyon’s north and south rims, as well as inside it, and passes by two campgrounds (Cottonwoods and Bright Angel), the Supai Tunnel, and Roaring Springs in the early stages of the hike. As the hike progresses, the elevation changes substantially, providing an opportunity to enjoy various views of the canyon.
