Description
The Trail of Time is an interpretive walking trail that allows visitors to go on a self-guided tour to learn more about the Grand Canyon's vistas and rocks. The unique trail encourages visitors to ponder, explore, and understand the magnitude of geologic time and the stories told by canyon rock layers and landscapes on their own.
The trail has four entrance portals: The Million Year Walk Portal, which begins at Yavapai Geology Museum, transitions from human time scales to geologic ones and serves as an 'on-ramp' to the main trail that covers 2 billion years of geologic time; The Main Trail of Time Portal, which is a fully accessible one-hour walking trip with show stopping vistas of the Grand Canyon; Verkamp's Visitor Center Portal, which starts from the flagpole outside of Verkamp's Visitor Center, and takes visitors forward in time from Grand Canyon's oldest rocks to canyon carving and Grand Canyon's human history; and the Headquarters Portal, which sits along the Trail of Time.
