Grand Canyon South Rim
The Grand Canyon South Rim trail is known for its beauty – which can help can make up for being one of the most challenging hikes in the United States. It’s located in Arizona, a state known for heat and humidity. It is often recommended that you attempt this trail before dawn or risk hiking through triple digit temperatures.
This hiking trail is considered an Arizona landmark with many people attempting the trek. At 21 miles in length, you will encounter thinner air at certain points, along with humidity, which makes it a challenge for most hikers. The elevation change of 10,500 feet, and the dehydrating heat is nothing short of difficult to surpass, even for the more experienced hikers on the trail.
