Did the 9.2 mile out and back today. Read lots of reviews beforehand. Completed the full hike in 3:51. The hike is uphill for 4.1 miles. We had good weather. After reading reviews, the hike was intim… Full review by Doug H

I was nervous about going this time of year, but I wasn't going to miss my first chance to see the Grand Canyon. At 80 degrees, it wasn't bad. The trail isn't hard either (at least not the part I did… Full review by Nadina P

Hi, I'm planning to hike to the Canyon floor on Bright Angel trail and would like to float out. Does anyone have a recommendation of an outfitter that we could use? thanks

Has anyone hiked down the South Kaibab and back up the bright angel trail? I would like to know if it’s possible to hike down south Kaibab in the morning and back up Bright Angel trail but stop at Indian Gardens. Amp ground to camp out. Has anyone done this trip? Can we find a camping spot at the Indian Gardens Campground heading back up Bright Angel trail and about how long will this take?
A:
Sorry didn’t do this one Seems like a lot of effort
Is it safe to hike the top of the trail (the 1.5 mile resthouse is the farthest we'd go) in tennis shoes, or are hiking boots needed?
A:
Since you are only going to the 1.5 mile resthouse on Bright Angel Trail, tennis shoes should be fine. We wore hiking boots but we hiked the entire way to the bottom on the S. …
Since you are only going to the 1.5 mile resthouse on Bright Angel Trail, tennis shoes should be fine. We wore hiking boots but we hiked the entire way to the bottom on the S. Kaibab trail and back up the Bright Angel Trail. Near the top of our ascent, we saw lots of people in tennis shoes. Taking a water bottle is important as well as hiking before the sun becomes too hot.
Hi. What are average hiking times (there and back) to 1.5 mile rest stop and the 3 mile. I can't seem to find the info anywhere. I know it will depend on the hikers but a rough estimate would help with planning. Thanks!
A:
I really can’t say. We did not hike that far but going down is quick. They say to allow twice the time to walk back up.
