Rimview Trail is a 10-mile loop hike in northern Arizona, about half a mile from the town of Page. The trail rises from a low point of 4,052 feet to a high of 4,356 feet, with a total elevation gain of 278 feet. It is a hard hike, and the route is a loop, so the climb is one way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Page show April and October highs around 72°F, while July highs average 98°F and January lows drop to about 30°F. Bikes are allowed on the trail. Colorado River Viewpoint is less than a mile away, and Hanging Garden and Rim Trail are both about 1.3 miles off. Anchovy Point, a climbing area, is about 2.8 miles away.
