Bright Angel Trail, Grand Canyon National Park

I was so surprised with this trail I hiked partly down and back. I so enjoyed it. It was icy going down but the scenic views of the Grand Canyon was breathtaking! I loved every step and I had a great time meeting different people on the trail. Breathing quite heavy on the way back up from the 1 1/2 mile mark, I found it invigorating to accomplish the hike task I had just done. Can't wait to come back and make the hike 5 mile down.

Amazing view point and an awesome trail to hike down. One of the world wonders Grand Canyon is best accessed from this trail head. Stunning overhead views, awesome signs showing the geological age of this canyon and lovely trail to hike down. Located right behind the Bright Angel lodge, this trail head has rest rooms, water fountains, vending machines and decent parking spots. Grand Canyon park shuttle station is right next to this trail. Very well laid out walking trails from here takes you all the way up to Hermits rest and also down to Colorado river via Indian gardens.
