Cape Final Trail - 4 mile roundtrip hike to a dramatic viewpoint on the Grand Canyon's North Rim

Cape Final Trail Review: https://roamingspices.com/cape-final-trail/ Cape Final Trail Description Upon leaving the car park, the Cape Final Trail heads east along an obvious dirt path through a pleasant forest comprising tall ponderosa pines and sporadic clearings sprinkled with shorter oaks and juniper. The path is relatively flat, meandering through the well-spaced trees, offering much-needed sun protection. After hiking for approximately 1.24 miles (2 km), you receive your first glimpse of the stunning North Rim views as the path nears the plateau’s edge. The Cape Final Trail now swings to the southeast and away from the Rim’s edge, continuing through more open woodland. The final stretch leads you down a slight slope, through a collection of bushes and smaller trees. When you catch sight of the Cape Final signpost, you are just about there. Now, there is one last gentle climb between several large boulders to the dramatic Cape Final vista. What’s on view from Cape Final The views from Cape Final are both dramatic and sprawling, with highlights including Vishnu Temple, Juno Temple, Jupiter Temple, and the Palisades of the Desert.
