Red Canyon Trail - Grand Canyon National Park, AZ - the New Hance Trail of the Grand Canyon

The Red Canyon Trail also known as the New Hance Trail is located in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park. The trail is just over fourteen miles to the east of the canyon's Grandview Point. The trail can be found on the canyon's South Rim and offers an incredible view of the canyon and its natural beauty. The trail is between the East Rim Drive's Morgan Point and Buggein Picnic Area and starts on the road's north side.

The trial is not maintained and thought to be one of the South Rim's toughest trails along with the Tanner Trail which is similar. The trailhead does not have parking available instead it is five minutes away at the main road of the South Rim. The New Hance Trail goes all the way to Colorado's Hance rapids.

The top of the Red Canyon Trail is rugged with large boulders on it. The location is remote which discourages some from hiking in the area. Overnight hikers do occupy the area from time to time because of the remoteness. Anyone in the area should make it a point to visit the canyon and the Red Canyon Trail is ideal to take in the view of the natural beauty.
