Grand Canyon North Rim
Junior Rangers Program
Things for Kids to do at the
Grand Canyon North Rim
The Grand Canyon Junior Ranger Program offers a different level of education
for three separate age groups in their Junior Ranger Program: Ravens for ages
4-7; Coyotes for ages 8-10; and Scorpions for ages 11-14. Bring your Children
to the Grand Canyon Visitors Center where they will be given a booklet. The children
are instructed to hike and experience the Grand Canyon while filling out the
booklet throughout the day. It is required that they also attend at least one
ranger talk or walk. There are usually four a day at the North Rim starting at
8 am, then again at 2 pm, 3 pm and 8 pm. Remember Arizona time does not change
so check your watches to make sure you are on the same time as the rangers. When
the tasks are complete the children return to the ranger at the visitors center
to get a badge and report what they have done.
Kaibab Forest Kids Program
Be sure to stop at the Kaibab
National Forest Visitors Center located at the junction of Scenic
Byway 89A and 67. The Kaibab Visitors Center offers an education program
for the kids. Badges and other trinkets are often handed out to kids at the Kaibab
Forest Visitors center upon completion of a worksheet about the displays in the
center.
Easy Family Hikes: Grand Canyon North Rim
Bright Angel Point: .05 miles round trip
This trail or easy walk is located near the Grand Canyon Visitors Center and
Grand Canyon Lodge. In the Grand Canyon the view seems to go on forever and when
standing along the rim at this viewpoint it is no exception. Have the kids look
closely around the rocks at the view point where crinoids fossils can be seen.
Bring the kids at sunset and you will be rewarded with smiles on their faces.
Cliff Springs Trail: 1.0 mile round trip
From the Cape royal trail turn off at Angels Window. This easy hike is one mile
from the Cape Royal Road through a forested ravine of Ponderosa pine and Douglas
Fir. The trail leads past a small ancient Anasazi granary and culminates at an
overhang with water seeping down.
Cape Royal Trail: .6 mile round trip
From atop the Kaibab Plateau, Unkar Creek Canyon is viewed below. The trail is
paved and excellent for baby strollers and wheel-chairs. The viewpoint offers
the most speculator views of the Grand Canyon. This is an easy hike that the
entire family will enjoy. Angels Window along the way will delight the child
in all of us.
Roosevelt Point Trail: .2 mile round trip
A easy and relaxing short walk through the woodlands that is more of a view point
than a hike, but the the Canyon below is magnificent and it is a good place to
get out and stretch the legs on the way to the Cape Royal Trailhead.
