Trip 9 - Grand View Trail

Distance:                 1.8 miles round trip

Elevation Change:    6220/6260 feet

Suited For:               Walk

Difficulty:                Easy

Introduction:    True to its name, the Grand View Trail offers perhaps the most all-encompassing panorama of the Canyonlands basin in the entire Park.  This is a good and popular trail that follows the narrow mesa among scattered trees and shrubs, ending at a prominent slickrock point that offers a commanding vista.  No special skills are required to follow this justifiably popular trail, and it offers great rewards to anyone willing to park the car and walk a short distance among awe-inspiring surroundings.
