Multi-Use Trail into Park to Open Soon

Beginning this fall, an eight-mile trail will allow cyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians to enter the park on foot (or hoof). This latest installment in the “Greenway” (a park trail system conceived during the 1995 General Management Plan) will allow locals and visitors alike to travel to and from Grand Canyon Village and the neighboring town of Tusayan in a carbon-friendly manner. The trail is being constructed by the NPS trail crew, and is a collaborative effort between Grand Canyon National Park and the US Forest Service. It is being underwritten by a combination of public and private funds.
