The Ascent (Bright Angel Trail)

The Bright Angel Trail is the most used trail in the Grand Canyon. For most tourists who hike the Grand Canyon, this is the tail taken. Most tourists hike to the 1.5 or 3 mile marker and back out. The really good thing about the Bright Angel Trail is water. You can get water at Indian Gardens, the 3 mile marker and the 1.5 mile marker.

We were planning on getting water along the trail. Our objective at the start was to drink as much fluids as we wanted. We were hoping that we would not run out before the Indian Gardens. From there, water should be no problem.
