Old Bright Angel Trail
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Old Bright Angel Trail is a 10.1-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona and managed by the United States National Park Service. The trail features 3,970 feet of elevation gain, making it a challenging ascent for most hikers. This out-and-back route allows hikers to turn around at any point, offering flexibility for those wanting to adjust their distance based on fitness level or time constraints. The significant elevation gain means hikers should come prepared for a strenuous climb, with the return journey descending the same elevation. The trail is maintained by the National Park Service, ensuring regular upkeep of the path and trail infrastructure. Hikers planning to tackle Old Bright Angel Trail should prepare for the substantial elevation change and bring adequate water and supplies for the full distance. The out-and-back nature of the route means hikers will experience the trail twice—once on the way in and again on the way out.
