Description

Three different trails meet the river here: one to the north rim and two up to the south rim. The trails provide access to the rim and Phantom Ranch where a post office and snack bar are a popular stop for river runners. You can hike a fun loop over the Bright Angel bridge and back over the Kaibab bridge. This is also a popular location for exchanges for those not running the entire Grand Canyon.
