Cliff Springs Trail Details
One of the shortest trails on the North Rim, this south-facing paved trail leads to Cliff Springs, a perennially dripping spring that spills from the shady roof of a narrow canyon ceiling. The spring water creates a small, cool oasis of shallow pools, mosses, and ferns that is a great destination during warmer weather. The trail continues and offers a few good, but not spectacular, views toward the south.
