Good Water Rim Trail (The Wedge)

The trail travels right along the rim of the canyon, providing unbelievable views the entire way. The surface is mostly smooth, with occasional rocks and sandy spots, and it weaves throughout some desert scrub and trees. There is minimal elevation gain, though the trail dips in and out of washes or climbs over small hills occasionally. At every twist and turn you'll have some new, incredible view of the huge canyon walls beneath your feet.There are many ways to hike this route, but the most common is to park at The Wedge Overlook and start hiking from there. You can do any distance out and back, or you can park another car at any of the access points to make it a one-way. A full out-and-back hike between both ends of this trail makes roughly a 50k.At about the 9-mile mark (if starting from Wedge Overlook), there is a primitive campground. This makes an alternative start/end point. You could leave a second vehicle here, or you could stash water/food in advance for a long hike.There are toilets and picnic tables at The Wedge Overlook, but no other services (such as water). Bring everything you need for a big day out.
