Update: Keep your eyes peeled for a view of Ribbon Falls! It is a bridal veil-like waterfall you might not expect in the gorge of the Grand Canyon. Since the bridge over the Bright Angel Creek is long gone, you need to ford Bright Angel Creek to get to the falls. Don't try to cross the Bright Angel Creek in rain or during snow melt as flash-floods might occur.

Ribbon Falls is a beautiful waterfall you would not expect in the gorge of the Grand Canyon. Since the bridge over the Bright Angel Creek has become impassable over the last years, this might be the only view you can get on the bridal veil-like falls. Don't try to cross the Bright Angel Creek in rain or during snow melt as flash-floods might occur.

Absolutely amazing waterfall not far from Cottonwood Campground. I've been there in the mornings when it's not too hot and you have it to yourself. Since the bridge is missing from the trail over Bright Angel Creek, you have to wade through the creek to reach the falls. I think that this currently contributes to the fact that you have your peace here :-)
