North Bass Trail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the hiking trail at the north rim of Grand Canyon. For the trail from the south rim, see South Bass Trail.
The North Bass Trail is a hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park, in the U.S. state of Arizona. The trail is accessible by use of U.S. Forest Service roads along the north rim of Grand Canyon.
The trailhead is located in the remote backcountry of the forests on the canyon's the north rim. To reach it, an 18 mile drive by high clearance (4-wheel drive preferred) vehicles is required. The trail begins at Swamp Point at an elevation of 7,500 feet at the end of Swamp Point Road.
This 14-mile trail is considered difficult, and requires considerable route-finding expertise. Considered one of the Canyon's most strenuous trails, it is covered with heavy brush and subject to rockslides. No services are available, and the only reliable water is at the Colorado River, which must be treated before consuming.
