The South Kaibab Trail is 6.8 miles to Bright Angel Campground and the Bright Angel Trail is 9.3 miles. It will take most hikers between 4 and 5 hours to get to the campground on either trail. Oddly enough, very few people ask how long the return hike will take. The return hike may take twice as long, though 7 to 8 hours seems to be average. Underestimating the elevation change and not eating or drinking enough can easily add a few hours to those averages. See similar questions...

You are welcome to walk your dog along the Coast Path, but please make sure it is on a lead or under close control at all times, taking extra care when you are walking close to grazing livestock. Cattle may react aggressively to dogs, especially if they have calves. If this happens, let your dog off the lead. Remember also that a dog may not be aware of the cliff edge if, for example, it is chasing a rabbit. Always clean up after your dog and dispose of the mess responsibly. See similar questions...
