While the oldest paths into, and through, the Grand Canyon were game tracks and native routes, current hiking trails were purposely constructed. The oldest of these in the national park is the Nankoweap Trail.

Built in 1881, it predates the trails built by Bass, Boucher, Cameron, Berry and Tanner as well as those built by the Santa Fe Railroad and the National Park Service. Copy article link
