Itinerary description
Basic stats:
-Started at trailhead at 07:30
-Arrived at Colorado river just before noon
-Arrived back to trailhead at 18:00
-Used 3 liters of mixed isotonic & water at roughly at +25°C.
The trail is surprisingly easy to hike as it is well maintained. (No roots nor mud neither slippery parts) As well there are no steep parts in the path - this makes the final climb quite smooth gradual walk in cooling sunset.
(For next time I would consider making this a loop from Kaibab trailhead to suspension bridge to beach, Indian gardens, and finally to Bright Angel trailhead)

nao recomendo fazer em um dia. melhor é acampar no india plato e fazer em 3 dias. fiz no verao e a chance de desidratar ficou perto. o pior é a diferença de altitude. antonio brito campinas https://www.wikiloc.com/outdoor-trails/bright-angel-to-beach-and-back-6709283#wp-6709284/photo-3740952
I got the permit for camping near the Colorado River. Very beautiful trail
