Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Black Suspension Bridge is also known as the Kaibab Bridge because it connects the North Rim with the South Rim via the Kaibab Trail. Built in 1928, it became the first safe passageway between north and south Kaibab. Prior to that, the only way across the Colorado River was hopping aboard a steel cage that dangled precariously from a cableway above the river. Today, it’s still one of few bridges to cross the Colorado River. In fact, other than the nearby Silver Bridge pedestrian bridge, Black Suspension Bridge is the only one for hundreds of miles. It’s popular with rim-to-rim hikers, visitors to Phantom Ranch, and guests on inner canyon mule rides. The bridge view of the canyon from 65 feet above the Colorado River is impressive.
