Tuckup Trail is a hard hike in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, managed by the National Park Service. The route is an out-and-back that starts at about 3,857 feet and climbs to about 5,522 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,980 feet. It is about 140 miles long, so plan on a full day on foot. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Pipe Spring run to highs around 68°F in April and 72°F in October, while July highs average about 94°F. A fee is charged for the hike, and bikes are not allowed. The Tuckup Alternate and Saddle Horse Loop both lie within a mile, and Lava Falls Trail is about 3 miles away.
