Bright Angel Trail
The Bright Angel Trail is the least
strenuous trail to the bottom of the Canyon from the South Rim, but
that still doesn't make it easy. It's a 9.3 mile walk from
bottom to top (in our case). It took eight hours after we had
offloaded most of our pack weight to a mule. Hoping to beat
the mid-day heat, we left camp at 3:30 AM, arriving at the rim at
11:30.
