Prepare for a challenging jogging experience on the Rimview Trail, a difficult route covering 11.2 miles (18.0 km) with a total elevation gain of 717 feet (219 metres). This journey, estimated to take 2 hours and 5 minutes, offers continuous 360-degree panoramic views. As you jog, you will see sweeping vistas of Lake Powell and the impressive Glen Canyon Dam, set against the vast red-rock desert. Keep an eye out for distant landmarks like Navajo Mountain and Tower Butte, which add to the dramatic landscape.
When planning your visit to the Rimview Trail, be aware that the route offers no shade, water, or restrooms. You should bring plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout your jog. Cell service can also be intermittent in certain areas along the trail. The most comfortable times to undertake this route are during the spring months of March to May and the autumn months of September to October, when temperatures are more moderate.
The Rimview Trail provides a truly rewarding experience for runners who enjoy a demanding route through a unique natural environment. The continuous views of the red-rock desert and major geological features make this trail stand out. Consider timing your jog for either sunrise or sunset; this allows you to fully appreciate the dramatic landscape as the light changes across the vast expanse. It's a challenging route that connects you directly with the grandeur of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
