Grand Canyon
Bright Angel Trail
South Rim Hiking Routes
North of W Rim Dr
Grand Canyon Village, AZ 86023
Adventurous visitors to the Grand Canyon who wish to hike down into the spectacular geological wonder can choose from two maintained South Rim hiking routes, one of which is the Bright Angel Trail. This trek is not a spur of the moment endeavor, but a trip the hiker should carefully plan out. Descending 4,000 feet, this eight-mile trip to the Canyon floor takes approximately five hours going down, and nine hours returning. Although this trail is considered the most popular and easiest of the two maintained trails on the South Rim, hikers have rated it "strenuous."
