Attend Park Ranger Guided Fossil Walk (South Rim), Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

Walk among brachiopods, sponges, and other marine creatures that thrived on this part of the continent 270 million years ago, before the age of the dinosaurs. This easy 1/2-mile (0.8 km) one-way walk explores an exposed fossil bed along the rim. Meet at Bright Angel Trailhead. South Rim ranger led hikes and walks take place along the Rim Trail year round. During the summer months an additional 3-mile round trip day hike into the canyon is also offered. Check in the Park Ranger Program webpage for schedules. All outdoor programs are subject to cancellation due to inclement weather or when lightning danger is present. Summer thunderstorms frequently can occur through early September with the potential for torrential rains, frequent lightning, and sudden flash floods. Note: Children must be accompanied by an adult on all programs. All programs are free of charge.
