trail located on the South Rim of theGrand Canyon National Park , located in theU.S. state ofArizona .Description
The trail begins at the end of the

To the east of the trail is the "Palisades of the Desert", a two-thousand foot cliff that showcases the upper portion of the canyon's rock layers.Camping is not allowed within a ½ mile of the confluence of the "Colorado River" and the "Little Colorado River".
