This is the second rest house (toilets) if you hike down from the South Rim. There are rest houses at 1.5 miles, 3 miles and at Indian Garden. There are no further rest houses (toilets) or water sources until you reach the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

If you want to get a taste of hiking down and up the amazing Grand Canyon, this little trip might be perfect for you. 3-mile-resthouse has stunning views into the canyon and you can fill up your water and cool down in the shade before you hike out again. Keep in mind, that there is considerable elevation to manage. Hiking down is always easy, but what goes down has to come up again.

Every 1.5 miles there is a small covered picnic area with a drinking water spot on the Bright Angel Trail. This is the second resting place, a place to rest, sit down and refill the supplies.
