About the Rim to Rim Trail
The Rim to Rim trail, also called the Grand Canyon Hike, Rim to Rim to Rim, or in short R2R, is the most popular hike in Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. It stretches between the North Kaibab Trailhead in the north and the South Kaibab or Bright Angel Trailheads on the South Rim. It's considered to be one of the most difficult day-hikes in the US, which is why a lot of people choose to split it into two or three days and camp in designated campgrounds. Hiking it involves steep climbing with a lot of elevation gain, but is very rewarding because of the stunning views of the Grand Canyon National Park.
