6See description below, and enable closed captions for additional hike information.
Hiking from Phantom Ranch to Havasupai Gardens (Indian Garden) on the Bright Angel Trail showcases diverse terrain, breathtaking vistas, and encounters with Grand Canyon's natural and cultural history. Starting at Phantom Ranch, the trail follows Bright Angel Creek, passing the Silver Bridge spanning the Colorado River. Ascent along the canyon wall reveals stunning panoramas, including the Pipe Creek, the "Devil's Corkscrew" switchbacks. Indian Garden, an oasis with cottonwood trees and a spring, offers a historic resting spot for travelers.
This video is part of a video series depicting the complete point-of-view experience (POV videos) of all the major trails in the Grand Canyon. These videos were recorded as part of a planned Rim to Rim to Rim hike in the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, this hike was not completed due to the closure of the North Kaibab Trail above Cottonwood.
