Jumpup Point

Jumpup Point is located on the western edge of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The trails that ends at Jumpup Point is FS 201 which is passable with a high clearance 2WD vehicle under dry conditions. There are numerous trails that can be used to reach FS 201, have a fun adventure deciding which way to take. Having 4WD does make the trip easier and helps you use the brakes quite a bit less. Most of the Grand Canyon tourists visit the Southern Rim (about 90%) which makes trails such as FS 201 very quiet and serene. Expect to have no cell service and no one to extract your vehicle if you break down anywhere along the path. Many of the roads to the North Rim are closed during the colder months which may vary from year to year. The trails away from AZ-67 and more commonly traveled areas will be blocked but trails such as Jumpup or Toroweap will not have gates but may be impassable due to snow cover. Be careful out there.

There are multiple paths to Jumpup Point, here is one example from Fredonia. I recommend buying the Kaibab National Forest Atlas onlineor at one of theForest Offices. To the northeast of Jumpup Point is Jumpup Cabin,which you can make a reservation for. I really wish that I could have spent more time out there.

Appreciate the detail you put in. Thanks!!

 

Nice to read this trip report, and see you in here, Dirk. It's been a minute. I hope you're well.

 

I got caught up in a job I finally stuck with and just didn't take much time off in the last few years. I will have to do some more hikes and trail runs soon.
