This is a cool tunnel cut through the rock of one of the canyon's ridges that you get to walk through while hiking the Bright Angel Trail. Once you pass through the tunnel, be ready to start taking the switchbacks down into the canyon.

The tunnel is right after the entrance to the Bright Angel Trail, and there is a second one further down.
