Excerpt from Backcountry Management Plan: Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona; September 1988 The Backcountry Management Plan defines the primary policies which manage visitor use and resource protection for the undeveloped areas of Grand Canyon National Park. The plan is divided into two sections. First are the general concepts and policies that guide backcountry management of Grand Canyon National Park. Second are the appendices that contain specific operational guidelines. The plan applies to lands within all three administrative districts of the park: Canyon, North Rim, and South Rim. Of the acres contained within the park, approximately acres are considered backcountry. The Grand Canyon backcountry environment includes subalpine spruce fir forests and. Meadows, ponderosa. Pine forests, pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush scrub, desert scrub, and riparian vegetation along stream and river courses. Elevation varies from over feet on the North Rim to approximately feet at the upper end of Lake Mead. Extreme variations in topography, temperature, and water availability tend to concentrate backcountry use in certain places during certain times of the year. Backcountry hiking opportunities are varied and numerous, with three major trails designated as part of the National Trails System, and a variety of other trails and routes to challenge almost every hiking ability and taste. Stock use is allowed on certain trails within the canyon and on most roads on the rims. Backcountry bicycle and motor vehicle use is also allowed on many miles of dirt roads on both rims.
