Grand Canyon Day Hikes

It doesn’t take much effort to get away from the massive crowds in the Grand Canyon. Just go for a hike. There’s are lots of hiking options out there but be careful with your choice. Any hike that leaves the rim will be challenging. And pay careful attention to the weather. What started out as a pleasantly cool day can quickly become dangerously hot. See below for a bunch of great day hike options.
