My folks... Any trails (off-road) suggestions while visiting the Grand Canyon?

There are some excellent off-road road trails near the Grand Canyon. Take a look at the National Park Service website. You will find many!

I haven't been there, but I understand the North Rim has lots more to offer than the South Rim, which is heavy on tourist traffic. Being a National Park, I wouldn't expect much in obstacles.

North Rim is closed until mid or late May. The wife and I are going there in June.

A quick look in onX shows a TON of trails.. There are numerous trails that are already mapped that will have trail descriptions and photos. There are plenty of unmapped trails if you are feeling adventurous..

Looks like a lot of the trails that are close are in the Kaibab National Forest.

I'd suggest you download onX and check out the areas trails. The trails already mapped will have a trail description and photos to help you decide if you'd like to do it. The Green marked trails are easy and Blue marked trails are moderate on the map below.

Oh, you're making itch! I've hiked the Canyon twice: 1964, 1984, and (at 77) maybe one last hurrah? I'm thinking: backroad & trail to the North Rim and park. Ground trans to the South Rim, overnight at the lodge, then hike down the Bright Angel Trail and up the Kaibab Trail to the North Rim? Or the other way around?

Last October we were in the Black Hills and stopped at the USFS office and probably got the best maps and trail info we've ever gotten. I will always stop at those offices from now on. If there's an office near your destination check it out.
We'll do it again in Colorado in September.
