What To Expect

Bright Angel Trail

Bright Angel Trail offers a wealth of day hiking opportunities on this tour! The trail switchbacks down from the South Rim Village to Mile and a Half Rest House, then 3 Mile Rest House, then Indian Garden at 4.5 miles and Plateau Point at 6 miles. So this tour can be done as a 3-mile, 6-mile, 9-mile, or 12-mile round trip hike. For ambitious travelers, Plateau Point (12 miles round trip) offers the most "bang for the buck" with stunning views of the Inner Gorge and the Colorado River. Indian Garden (9 miles round trip) is another excellent longer option with a shaded oasis with a spring-fed creek for a picnic lunch. And for less ambitious travelers, Mile and a Half and 3 Mile rest houses offer fantastic hikes.

My son and I did the Rim to Rim Winter Hike, a six day five night experience The weather was fabulous! A group of six including our guide , Moshe. This was my first time backpacking. Wildlands did a great job preparing me for the trip in letting me know what to expect. Moshe was very experienced and professional. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to explore the canyon. Beware that this is a physically and mentally challenging trek. It is equally rewarding!

My son (15) and I hiked the Bright Angel Trail down to the 3 mile rest stop with Shayne. He was an engaging, informative and fun guide and we highly recommend him. Many people elect to hike the trail by themselves. I would recommend considering highering a guide as the history, wildlife and unique formations are easy to miss without a guide. We felt having a guide was well worth the financial investment.
