The Widforss Trail is a hiking trail located at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in the U.S. state of Arizona. The Widforss Trail runs from the North Rim Village through the forest to emerge at Widforss Point, a narrow, wooded promontory.

Widforss Trail was named for Gunnar Widforss, an artist specializing in American National Park landscape paintings.
