Trails I've Hiked: Cape Final At Grand Canyon National Park

Share
Cape Final Trailhead, Grand Canyon National Park

It takes only about 2 miles to reach the overlook at Cape Final on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park/National Parks Traveler

Despite its odd name, Cape Final on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park should not be ignored during your visit to the rim.

The eminent U.S. geologist Clarence Dutton named the point in 1880 after a 5-mile horseback ride took him to the eastern-most point of the Walhalla Plateau on the rim. He called it, "the most interesting spot on the Kaibab.

Sit back and watch this short video for a peek at the hike to Cape Final.
