About Cape Final Trail
Walk through a ponderosa pine forest that provides habitat for the endemic Kaibab squirrel. The Cape Final Trail offers scenic views of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, with interpretive markers along the route explaining the area's natural history. As the forest opens onto the cape, hikers are rewarded with expansive canyon vistas; exercise caution near the rim. This trail is a moderate, family-appropriate outing for those prepared for the round-trip walk to Cape Final.
