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 online or at one of the Forest Offices. To the northeast of Jumpup Point is Jumpup Cabin, which you can make a reservation for.

Mildly rocky terrain: a 2WD truck with ground clearance can make it through in dry conditions.

Jumpup Canyon goes deeper into the Earth as you head further south…

Jumpup Canyon starts to open up the further south you go. It’s a long way to the hiking trail now…

The trail is never too difficult under dry conditions and there are numerous spurs on the trail. There is so much to explore on just one trail.

Various watering holes are present along the trail.

The end of the trail offers wonderful views from the North Rim. Well worth the time and effort!

I highly encourage you to visit this wonderful gem of a trail. So few people make the effort to go this far from civilization.
