The Bright Angel Trail on the South Rim is one of the most popular hikes in the US. Options: rim to river day trip, connect with the South Kaibab, or do the full rim to rim — we met a 59-year-old doing it as a day trip! Garden Creek Canyon and Pipe Creek Canyon are accessible as day trips without a permit, or with permits to stay at Indian Creek Campground.
Start early — park fills by 6-7AM. Water available at 1.5 and 3 mile shelters and at Indian Creek. Check weather conditions for rain risk. Permits required to camp at Indian Creek or other trailside campsites. Falls and spring can have ice on the trail.
