Grand Canyon, North Rim, Transept Trail

The Grand Canyon, National Park Service handout given at the entrance gate, has the trail Transept as a dotted line but it's not named, on the map. Walking to the canyon end of the campgrounds will get you on the trail, or leaving the Lodge via the back door and down the steps, heading north, will also get you on this trail with elegant views of "The Transept" canyon. Benches are available so relax and enjoy your cup of juice or coffee. The trail has a few dips and climbs but is classified as "easy" in my book. It is not as crowded as Bright Angle Point and offers similar views. This is one of the North Rims best kept secret.
