There aren't many established hiking trails in black canyon NP. If you're really hardcore, you hike/climb/backpack the inner canyon, but I'm not quite on that level yet.
I chose the Oak Flat Loop Trail as my first hike because... well.... there aren't many options on the South Rim. They're all under two miles. Oak Flat Loop is a nice 2-miler, you get down a little bit into the canyon. It's a nice mix because you don't feel like you're just strolling along, but the elevation changes are not too strenuous at all. Definitely recommended: you get some really pretty canyon views.
Trail name: Oak Flat Loop Trail
Distance (RT): 2 miles
Elevation change: couple hundred feet at most
Time: 1 hr
