Description
No elevators here! I believe this view is called "The Abyss". With pull off viewpoints and names like Maricopa, Powell, Hopi, and Mohave Point, The Abyss, Monument Creek Vista and Pima point, there are no shortcuts in either direction - down or up..
The National Park Service warns that there are no easy trails into or out of the Arizona Grand Canyon. They state that "the Bright Angel Trail begins just west of Bright Angel Lodge and offers day hikes that range in distance up to 12 miles round trip. Some shade. Seasonal water availability subject to pipeline breaks. Check at the Visitor Center or back country Information Center for water status. The upper portion of the trail may be extremely icy in winter or early spring.
The Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
