Bright Angel Point

Bright Angel Point is the main overlook at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, providing a panoramic view into the depths of the canyon from the north side. It is the most popular viewpoint on the North Rim, and many visitors go nowhere else. A 0.4 mile trail leads to the viewing area, starting directly behind Grand Canyon Lodge at the junction with the Transept Trail, and just in front of the large North Rim parking area. Although paved, the trail is quite steep in a few places, causing some of those unaccustomed to hiking, especially at this high elevation (8,100 feet), to get out of breath. Park rangers patrol the short path on busy summer days, answering questions and offering drinking water to thirsty visitors.
