Nankoweap Trail

The Nankoweap Trail is an aptly named Navajo trail located in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. There are spectacular viewpoints in the region that offer amazing views of the canyon which is why the trail is popular and becoming more and more heavily trafficked. An information center is located nearby and operates as the park's visitor facility. Here guests will find the visitor information, a large bookstore, and ample restrooms and picnic facilities. Visitors are able to explore the scenery around the visitor center and take pictures of some of the most amazing landscape.

The hiking trail is waterless and not recommended for those who have a fear of heights. The majority of hikers take two days to complete the long journey, with some spending the night on the way down at either Marion Point or Tilted Mesa. Hikers spending the night are required to carry plenty of extra water with them. Those up to the challenge are rewarded with magnificent views, excellent chances for solitude, and fascinating human history. A very small seasonal seep is located just above the trail approximately 150 yards past where the trail passes Marion Point. Permanent water sources are located near the Colorado River.
