The Ken Patrick Trail has some moderate ups and downs along the mostly forest hike. There are some nice views of Mt. Hayen while hiking around the rim that hugs the area it sits. Nankoweap Creek is far below. After a couple of miles of wandering through the forest the trail comes to the Cape Royal Road. If someone in the group wanted to sit and read a book and relax in the car they could pick up hikers here and make it a short little hike. If hikers want to go father, just cross the road and keep hiking to the end of the trail. (the North Kaibab Trailhead). Some other options would be to include the Uncle Jim loop during your hike. Uncle Jim by itself is 5 miles, but about a mile of that is shared with the North Kaibab Trail. I shared this hike with my hiking partner Bo Beck and 2 other hikers, Gary and Kayla.
