Old Bright Angel Trail


Last weekend, Jesse and I headed back into the canyon... This time on the Old Bright Angel Trail- the trail that was used for getting across before the CCC made the North Kaibab Trail all nice. Parked the suby off the scenic drive and had a nice morning stroll through the forest before getting to the trailhead.

View a little ways down... The trail wasn't as bad as many people said.. And we were shaded for the first half.

Mystery poo... anyone know what this is? Might have to refer to "Who pooped in the park"- an excellent resource for identifying animal poopies.



Made it down to the Waterslides in Bright Angel Creek (left)... With somewhat ominous rainclouds in the distance. We only got a few drops but the clouds and winds cooled everything down significantly.. not your average scorching hot july day down in the canyon.






Little King snake we ran into around mossy cove. He let us take a few pictures of him and then continued on his way over the ledge.

Overall a pleasant day hike... it really makes all the difference having the trail to yourself... me like

  1. Love the look of the waterslides. Do you take a dip?

    What's in that poop?
