Phantom Ranch & Bright Angel Campground

Sleeping on a picnic table in Bright Angel Campground
In good weather, many hikers don't use tents.  They just sleep on the ground on or on the picnic table.  It can be a long wait for the sun to go down and the air to cool enough to be able to sleep.

 

 

Phantom Ranch & Bright Angel Campground
Most hikers leave the Rim early in the morning to arrive at Bright Angel Campground or Phantom Ranch before the heat of the day sets in.  The downhill hike can usually be done in about 4 hours.  Then you get to sit in the oven all day long, hoping it gets cool enough to sleep.
