The S. Kaibab Trail is the quickest, but steepest way to hike to the bottom of the Canyon. The Trail is enclosed in canyon walls for the first quarter mile or so, the begins to emerge along a lovely balcony for a stretch. Then comes the twists and turns down to Cedar Ridge. Descending through the steep Coconino layer the trail requires switchbacks and the views open to ever-changing panoramas to the east and west.
