Komo Point Trail is a 10-mile out-and-back hike in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, on land managed by the National Park Service. The route gains about 485 feet on the way up and roughly 1,142 feet in total over the round trip, with the steepest stretch coming at about 4.9 miles in, where the grade reaches 7%. The high point is 8,501 feet, and the low point is 8,047 feet, so the trail crosses a few hundred feet of elevation change in a single outing. That makes it a moderate hike that takes about four hours to complete. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 77°F in July with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. The station sits at about 8,000 feet, so temperatures on the higher parts of the trail run a little cooler. A fee is charged for the hike. Greenland Lake Trail and Walhalla Glades Trail both start within a mile and a half. North Rim Campground (AZ) is about 4.6 miles away, and Grand Canyon National Park offers climbing about 4.5 miles off.
