On our third day at the Grand Canyon we decided to take a hike below the rim.
We chose the Bright Angel Trail because we had read that it is one of the most family friendly trails.
The views from inside the Canyon proved to be as majestic as the views from the rim.
Byron and Gabe ventured out on a cliff over hanging the edge.
The Bright Angel Trail leads all the way down into the Canyon. That is a 2 day hike. Along the way, there are a few turn around spots. 1.5 miles down is a cabin and restroom. That was our goal for the day.
We made it down to the 1.5 mile marker and then had to hike back up.
The paths were narrow and often along a steep edge with no guardrails.
Along the way, we even saw a big horn deer.
We were a little nervous, especially after reading that there are 2-3 falling deaths every year at the Grand Canyon. So the views were quite literally breathtaking.
Day 3 ended up being almost everyone's favorite day!
