    This is where the Bright Angel Trail's switchbacks begin—a strategic spot offering stunning views of the canyon and its towering walls surrounding the trail. From here, you can choose between a short, easy hike or a more challenging adventure that descends deeper into the canyon.

      This is an ideal point to start your return if you’re just looking for a short, enjoyable hike.

        The further down you go, the more deserted it becomes, but you also have to remember to come back up again!! We were here in December and the way up was strenuous even with the low temperatures.

        Make sure you take enough water with you, the drinking water fountains are turned off in winter.
