Overview: The North Trail to Rainbow Bridge follows the old discovery trail. There is good water along this trail, but it crosses many canyons, so the elevation gain and loss is greater than the South Trail. These two trails form a popular loop, involving a car shuttle.
When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example.
WARNING! Hiking and outdoor related sports can be dangerous. Be responsible and prepare for the trip. Study the area you are entering and plan accordingly. Dress for the current and unexpected weather changes. Take plenty of water. Never go alone. Make an itinerary with your plan(s), route(s), destination(s) and expected return time. Give your itinerary to trusted family and/or friends.
To hike From Page, take highway 98 to The Crossroads - the junction between US98 and Indian Route 16. Take Indian Route 16 north past the settlement of Navajo Mountain and Rainbow City. The road was recently paved up to the mission in this area, but it continues down "Trailhead Road" as a dirt track. There is a dirt parking area near a slickrock mound at the end of the road where you can park your vehicle, or ask someone who lives in the area to help you out.
