Top 11 Most Beautiful Scenic Hikes In America

Tonto Trail, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

This is where you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the Colorado River and the endless sea of enormous red rock canyons! The Tonto Trail is on the South Rim and runs from Garnet all the way to Red Canyon. It’s seen as one of the best hikes in Arizona and is especially known for its picturesque views.

You’ll start 3000ft below the rim, so you may only access the trailhead on foot and leave your car at the Grandview or Bright Angle trailhead. The campsites found along this path must be reserved with the Backcountry Rangers Office.

But you’ll find plenty of other convenient places to stay around the Grand Canyon if camping isn’t your thing. Water can be a problem during this hike, especially in the summer, so you may want to bring a water bottle with you.
