Simple trail with an incredible view.
Easy. Good for the opportunity to take pictures.
good if you want to just kill some time
More like a stroll than a trail... nice little stroll between crowded shuttle stops great picnic area and you may find yourself all alone. Even during this crowed spring break. http://simplypeg.weebly.com/

Did this last year with a friend and her little ones. Short and easy.
A short, easy and level trail along the valley floor between the Lodge and the Grotto picnic area. It passes through a pretty wooded meadow. It is great for spotting wildlife. You can take the trail to connect to the West Rim/Angels Landing Trails or the Kayenta Trail for a nice loop to the Emerald Pools.
Nice easy morning walk "hike". Lots of wildlife along this trail as well. Very enjoyable!
