Trailhead

The trailhead begins at Hualapai Hilltop.


Hualapai Hilltop can
be reached at the end
of Indian Road 18
which is 68 miles north
of Route 66.

DO NOT use the road that you may see on some maps that comes directly from the South Rim area (Grand Canyon National Park) - that is a primitive road that requires 4-wheel drive, and the drive time takes as long as it takes to use I40 to Route 66 to Indian 18.

Parking Area

The Parking Area is known as Hualapai (Walapai) Hilltop. This is
where the trailhead is. There are no permanent services of any kind,
i.e. gas, food or lodging - although at times there may be drinks
and snacks available from vendors. There is no water available for
hikers. Please don't forget to bring water for the hike and fill up your tank with gas.
