Here, the Agua Canyon Connecting Trail descends to the rugged 22.9-mile (36.9 km) Under-the-Rim backcountry trail, which travels north to Bryce Point and south to Rainbow Point. Day hikers can enjoy an out-and-back hike with views of Agua Canyon and the Paria Valley beyond. 

The park backcountry offers rugged terrain for adventurous hikers seeking a less-traveled trail. We recommend strong wayfinding tools and skills. Response to emergency situations may be difficult and delayed.
