Backcountry camping
You haven’t truly experienced the Grand Canyon until you’ve looked upward to see the rim. The three corridor campgrounds and primitive camping zones along the main cross-canyon trails and 29 designated areas along lesser-used trails, will give you the signature wilderness experience of the West.
