There is also a junction with the Royal Arch Route, which requires a short rappel to access the river trail.

[1] Trail conditions vary based on the amount of traffic certain sections receive.

Less traveled sections are subject to overgrowth by canyon flora early in the spring season, and may require route finding skills to traverse.

Water from Horn Creek should be avoided except in emergency circumstances due to radioactive contamination from the Lost Orphan Uranium Mine (defunct) below Powell Point.

Camping is allowed along the Tonto Trail by permit only, issued by the Grand Canyon National Park Backcountry Information Center.
