Watching the sun rise while standing at the head of the Bright Angel trail was definitely a memory that I will cherish forever. What an amazing master piece that our Master has created!

Take your time and enjoy the view. As the sun moves, the shadows and the light change the view. Stunning

It was tough with a backpack weighing 27 pounds but I am short so I was packing 1/4 th of my weight up the trail from the bottom of the canyon. Great views and lots of hikers and mules. Very well traveled route and well maintained. I felt as if I really accomplished something! They say only a small percentage... More

Absolutely fabulous place to visit. Lots of photo opportunities. There is a lovely cafe and the ice creams are lovely! The Grand Canyon is just so spectacular and I will remember this for the rest of my life. Just incredible.

I liked this trail better than South Kaibab Trail. But, it is blocked on both sides so you don't see as much of the canyon as you do on the other trail but the trail itself I thought was nicer and an easier climb. We hiked South Kaibab to the Tonto trail and cut across 4 miles to Bright Angel... More

A nice picture spot as you walk out of the angel lodge. The views were amazing and there are a lot of photo ops.

What I felt and what was captured on camera, Its Angelic. As the tour guide said, "Words can't describe. Pictures can't show the magnitude. Paintings can't capture the essence." What I said to my sister-in-law, "It's worth the drive." If the picture I posted, doesn't causes you to do a double take, you really need to look at them again.... More
