Grand Canyon National Park (National Park) · Open Access

6,608 ft
Elevation

From the parking area you do a short walk on the Bill Hall Trail on the Forest Service land before entering into the National Park. In the Forest Service boundaries you travel thru a sparsely traveled, primitive area through a valley of oak, aspen and Ponderosa pine trees.

This is an excellent place to see deer, eagles and coyotes as well as all of those smaller but just as interesting critters that frequent these habitats.
