I did the whole trail over two days in late July. The trail seemed to get more people on it later in the afternoon, and closer to the overlooks where the trollies are letting people off. It was a spectacular way to see the canyon, especially during the "red section". There were far fewer people on it when I hiked, which allowed better views, and was very peaceful.

We completed only 8 miles. Its an easy trail with spectacular views of the Grand Canyon. There is also a fascinating exhibit on geologic time, the age of Earth, and the rocks exposed in the canyon.

Only did some 5 km. I think, and it was a very easy stroll. But also extremely beautiful.

We hiked about 6 miles of the rim trail in early march. We did the hermits rest route. You can hop on a trolley if you get tired or are ready to see a different perspective which is what we did.
