Boucher Trail, Steep hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park, United States
The Boucher Trail extends 9 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River through multiple geological formations and steep terrain.
Louis D. Boucher, who lived in the Hermit Creek basin for 20 years, established this trail and named it Silver Bell Trail in the late 1800s.
The path reveals the geological history of the Grand Canyon through distinct rock layers, providing scientific insights into North American continental formation.
Hikers need to carry sufficient water supplies and obtain permits for camping, as water sources are limited to Boucher Creek and the Colorado River.
The trail features a section that requires exposed climbing near Yuma Point, while the camp below offers clear views of the Grand Canyon landscape.
