Tusayan Ruin Walk

Tusayan Ruin Walk is a trail that can be found twenty-two miles to the west of the Grand Canyon Village close to the East Rim Drive of the Grand Canyon. The trail is paved and wheelchair accessible next to the park's Tusayan Museum. The word Tusayan comes from the tribe of Hopi and means "land of isolated buttes." The trailhead has self guide travel brochures available to visitors.

The remains of prehistoric pueblo ruins can be seen along the Tusayan Ruin Walk. The park is open from nine in the morning until five in the evening each day. There are guided tours led by park rangers each day at the park. The trail goes less than a mile around the Tusayan Pueblo Ruin in addition to going through a farm area and marketplace.

Tusayan Walk goes down to what was once the field of the ancient community. The San Francisco Peaks can be seen from the trail on a clear day and a number of tribes considered them to be sacred. Anyone visiting the Grand Canyon National Park should make it a point to go outside the Tusayan Ruins and Museum to take advantage of the Tusayan Ruin Walk. The surrounding view is spectacular.
