Scenic View/Photo Spot, Trailhead

This relatively flat, forested trail leads hikers 2.1 miles (3.4 k) to the end of Cape Final, for a 4.2 miles (6.8 k) round trip hike. The trail begins at a dirt parking lot 2.4 miles (3.9 k) north of the Cape Royal parking lot. The first half of this rocky trail is entirely within the forest, but views of Grand Canyon begin peaking through the trees around the halfway mark. The trail comes to an end at Cape Final, one of the most spectacular viewpoints on the North Rim of Grand Canyon.
