Indian Gardens and the Bright Angel Trail



The distances in the Grand Canyon are so vast that you cannot appreciate how far you are seeing. Looking down on Indian Garden, it is approximately 4.6 to 4.9 miles by trail (depending on who you believe), although not that far in a straight line from the view point. Unfortunately, since I cannot fly, I must walk the trail. Historically, this was an Indian trail used by the Havasupais for access to Garden Creek, the small stream that runs through the Garden. Starting at the South Rim, Bright Angel is the most traveled trail in the Grand Canyon.
