The Cape Final Trail is a hiking trail on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, located in the U.S. state of Arizona.
Description
It is located on the Walhalla Plateau at the Grand Canyon's North Rim. Access is from the Cape Royal Road, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Cape Royal. Access to this part of the park by car is seasonal, traditionally open from mid-May to mid-October or depending on snowcover from the previous winter.
The trail is only 2 miles (3.2 km) long one-way and terminates at Cape Final at an elevation of 7,916 feet (2,413 m) overlooking the eastern Grand Canyon from Nankoweap to the Unkar Creek Delta.
No water is available (even at the trailhead), except early in the season by melting snow. Otherwise all water needed must be carried for the duration of the hike.
