Bright Angel Point, Grand Canyon Overlook

Bright Angel Point is located in the Grand Canyon National Park, an overlook that can only be reached via one of its many trails. The lookout attracts hikers, campers and general guests from all across the state of Arizona and beyond, who seek serenity in its vast and exciting backcountry.

The backcountry of the Grand Canyon National Park is home to one of its most sought after overlooks, Bright Angel Point. It takes about half an hour to do the complete hike along its easiest of trails, but it is a journey that most are quite happy to endure.

From its vantage, it is possible to see many of the mini canyons that dot the park. Places like Roaring Springs and Transept are just a few of the attractive ones that can be seen. The canyon is by far more famous for its famous squirting limestone rock face, where spring waters burst through, creating waterfalls out of nowhere.

The point also allows access to mule trails. These extend all across the canyon, and are very popular with tourists. Each ride runs from an hour to a full day and includes a full lunch and plenty of water. Snacks are provided so guests can feed their new found four-legged friends.

Prices range from $30 to $105, and are limited to people aged 8 on up and weight restrictions are in place. In fact, because of the demand, reservations are now accepted. More information about that can be obtained from the visitor centers or the local lodge.
