Itinerary description
Shawn and I set out on a day hike to the Colorado River via South Kaibab - Bright Angel, however part way down we come to learn the lower end of Bright Angel was closed as a result of a rock slide. After doing lunch by the Colorado River we doubled back on South Kaibab to Tip Off then took Tonto Trail west to Bright Angel Trail. After 9 hours of hiking we made camp at Indian Garden and the following day made a 4 hour hike out Bright Angel Trail to the rim. Another great adventure with my son.

No es dificil pero larga. El final de la ruta es un continuo ascenso de casi 1000 metros con fuentes cada 200m mas o menos. Espectacular y muy recomendable en época sin calor. La hice en mayo,
Espectacular. Cansa el tramo final de ascenso de 1100 m con frcuentes zonas de descanso con agua canalizada, Si es posiblemhecedla en mayo u octubre por el calor
