Bright Angel Point Trail Details
This easy walking trail follows a paved path along a North Rim ridgeline from the Grand Canyon Lodge. The nearby Roaring Springs is surprisingly audible from the trailhead, and makes a good side trip for visitors wanting to see the proliferous water source. Quickly leaving the shady forest, the trail remains fairly level through open areas studded with stunted trees and grasses. Some of the best North Rim panoramas are available from this easy trail, sometimes making it a bit crowded. There is no water available along the trail.
