The start of the Bright Angel Trail.
7,120 feet above sea level.

Looking down from above.
Indian Garden is the green patch in the center.
3,360 feet below the rim.

Switchbacks and more Switchbacks, and we are just started!
You can't see the first part of the trail from the top.
These are the switchbacks after you pass through the three bridges and
the warning sign "do not continue unless you have proper footwear and water."

More of the switchbacks.
You can see Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse in the top right.
Three-Mile Resthouse is harder to see. It is on the last jagged peak down and to the left.

Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse - This looks like a new resthouse.
The old one was made of all stone.
I think the area to the left is where the old one sat.

Three-Mile Resthouse
I did not optical zoom in on this one. So this is just digital zoom.

Indian Garden. - Those are tall trees, not bushes.
We ate our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches here.
We also had a good laugh watching the people get off of the mules.
You can see the rangers cabins and the emergency helicopter pad.
