Grandview Trail - Grand Canyon National Park, AZ - a trail leading off of Grandview Point

The Grandview Trail located in the Grand Canyon National Park leads down into the Grand Canyon from the Grandview Point. The path the trail takes is obvious from the outlook. The trail goes in the direction of Horseshoe Mesa which is located between the Cottonwood and Hance Creek. The U shape was formerly a copper mine.

Grapevine Creeks branched drainage is further west down the trail. The creek meets the river out at a set of out of sight rapids. The trail goes past Tanner Canyon which is where the only view of the Colorado River can be gotten from the vantage point of Grandview Point.

A short distance down the trail provides the outlook's best view since it blocked by trees. The Grandview Point is 7400 feet height resulting in it receiving more rainfall making the woodland denser and taller. There are pinyon pine, ponderosa pine and oak found along the trail.

Grandview was the first place on the rim to be developed as a tourist attraction prior to the El Tovar Lodge being constructed close to the Garden Canyon. Original facilities included a hotel that was constructed during 1895. There are not that many traces left of the hotel which is no longer in use.
