Description

This is a route hike. Go from Tiyo Point down to Sheva saddle, then contour to west side of Isis Temple and around. Head east to Utah flats. From the Utah flats head east toward phantom ranch. You will pick up a vague trail that leads from Utah flats down into phantom. Be ready for some confused stares as the campers at phantom wonder where the hell you came from and why you look like you just got attacked by a mountain lion. This route could be a rim to rim or a loop back to the North Rim via North Kaibab trail. If you're feeling good when you get to roaring springs canyon, keep heading north and climb out via the Old Bright Angel (this trail is no longer maintained and can be pretty hairy going up).

Directions

Refer to GCNP topo. It east of Point Sublime and west of Grand Canyon Lodge.

Highlights

Awesome views of Isis Temple and Phantom Canyon, Haunted Canyon. On Sheva Saddle (this is in the Supai layer), we found some old mining equipment. From the Utah Flats, there are spectacular views of the River and the two bridges.
