About Transept Trail [CLOSED]
The Transept Trail is closed until further notice after the Dragon Bravo Fire closed the North Rim developed area and its trails. When open, it follows the rim through ponderosa pine, Gambel oak and aspen forest, past an ancestral Puebloan ruin, with views into the canyon through the trees.
