Tonto Trail

Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park is where the Tonto Trail can be found on the South Rim. The trail starts at the Colorado River's south bank at the western end where the Garnet Canyon is and ends at the eastern end on the Red Canyon. The trail goes along Tonto Platform for most of its length of seventy miles.

The trail crosses a number of other trails through the Canyon such as the Bright Angel and Boucher trails. The amount of traffic that areas of the Tonto trail receive affects its condition. The easiest portion is also the portion with the most traffic found between the South Kaibab Trail and the Bright Angel Trail. Areas of the trail that don't see as much traffic can be tricky to navigate since they can get overgrown during the beginning of spring with the flora in the canyon.

There is water sources along the Tonto Trail although except for the source found at Indian Garden they all need to be purified prior to drinking. Various sources flow year round that can be used once they have been treated with only the Horn Creek being off limits due to being contaminated by radioactive materials from a nearby mine.
