Stop At: Bright Angel Trail, Begins near the main Visitor Center complex, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ 86023
The Bright Angel Trail begins in the historic village area at Grand Canyon and gives the hiker beautiful views of the canyon as well as the nearby cliffs. It is one of three “Corridor” trails, which are about four feet wide and don’t descend as steeply as other Grand Canyon trails. It has more shade than is found on the South Kaibab Trail, as it is in more of a side canyon. At 1.5 miles you reach 1 ½ Mile Rest House, which has water and an outhouse. Continuing down into the red Supai rock layer, you will see more views of the inner canyon as you descend further down. 3-Mile Resthouse, also has water and an outhouse and a great view of the Tonto Plateau below you. You can expect to see mules sharing this trail with you.
