You'll be driving from view to view and will walk the trails at each stop. The view from Pt. Imperial is great. The trail close to the Ranger's station at the North Rim is easy to navigate and offers good views. Grab a map while there and you'll be good to go!

Melissa ~
I believe the trail @the North rim information station is the Bright Angel Trail. Enjoy!

Melissa,
As your drive through the forest (Kanab)look for the squirrels with pure white tails. Too bad you miss the sunrises and sunsets. Have a nice trip.

It is the North Kaibab Trail. The Bright Angel does not go to the North Rim as I recall.

And it is the Kaibab National Forest, not the Kanab.

There are not a lot of view points on the north rim, with Cape Royal and the view from near the restaurant being the two best ones to me that can be reached by car.

Point Sublime is a bumpy ride and probably needs a high clearance vehicle.
