Cape Final Trail Details
This easy trail follows an old road through a quiet forest filled with Ponderosa pines and Gambel oaks, and ends at Cape Final Point, one of the most popular points on the North Rim. Although the path is generally level, there are a few moderate climbs, and accessing the end of the point requires crossing a small boulder field. Despite the popularity of the Point, the trail isn't usually crowded, and the spectacular, wide-open panoramas of Vishnu Temple, Vermillion Cliffs, and Navajo Mountain are certainly large enough to share.
