Do some planning beforehand and try to combine trails for a more thorough experience. We suggest hiking the North Kaibab and Bright Angel Trails.
2. Want something more intense? Take a couple of months to hike the Arizona Trail.

Covering more than 800 miles that runs north to south, this trail will give you one of the most scenic views you can get of Arizona. If you want to start planning, check out the Arizona Trail Association’s website.
3. Spend a night 200 feet underground in a cavern.
