| Alex Wood | Easy Hiking Date Climbed: May 11, 2012 | |
| Beautiful trail made really easy but the relatively easy hiking. We hiked this to do Garden Creek (4CIV). Started at 7am, got back the rim at 6:45pm. We also went to the river. Awesome trails with steller views. Indian Gardens is beautiful as well. It would have been too hot on the hike back up except for the fact there were a bunch of clouds that helped cover the sun | |

| Andrew Rankine | Snowy Date Climbed: Jan 5, 2007 | |
| I have hiked this trail 6 times, I believe. It is one of my favorite trails. My dad and I tend to go during snowstorms to get cancellations at Phantom Ranch, so most times it has been snowy as I hiked down. | |

| LadyWawa | Beautiful Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2010 | |
| Really wonderful coming back up this way (I came down from North Kaibab). I loved the frequent water access especially. The weather was just right in October. | |

| Stu Brandel | Not so Bright Angel Date Climbed: May 20, 1994 | |
| Breakfasted at the rim on last day of a trip and was talked into a same day rim to river and back trip via Bright Angel, prior to our midnight flight. We scampered down (those warning signs don't apply to us, we thought)and had a nice lunch at Pine Creek Beach on the river. The trudge back up was long, hard and heat strokey. We deserved every broiling inch of it. | |

| jcsesica | S. Kaibab down/Bright Angel up Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2010 | |
| We went down the South Kaibab on 3-24 (My 51st B-Day!). 3 nights at the bottom of the canyon and then up BA Trail to Indian Gardens on 3-27 and then out on 3-28. Weather was INCREDIBLE, with daytime temps ranging between 68 to 75 degrees at the river and night time lows in the mid thirties. Lots of ice at the rim and really enjoyed our instep crampons. Not a necessity but really appreciated. Great time of the year in the canyon. | |

| Did as part of the 3 day backpacking with the family (wife, 13 y/o and 5 y/o sons). Hiked down South Kaibab and climbed back on Bright Angel Trail. Very beatiful. | |

| ncst | Great day Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2009 | |
| I was lucky to get a backcountry permit to camp at Indian Garden the day before. After pitching my tent there, I walked down to the Colorado river and on to Phantom ranch, got there around 3pm. Had coffee and bagel, went up S. Kaibab, then west on the Tonto trail, where I watched sunset, and then walked on to Indian Garden which I reached around 7.30 pm. A long but satisfying day! | |

| Hotoven | Long uphill hike... Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2008 | |
| Did this in 1999 as well. Its a nice way out of the GC because of all its water sources. We hikes out the 2nd time in a night when there was a full moon out. Flashlights were not even needed. It was truly beautiful! | |

| srclimb1 | Phantom Ranch & Back Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2008 | |
| World Class scenery!!! One of my favorite hikes so far. I've done a number of Colorado 14ers, and those are inrcedible. But, you can't beat the Grand Canyon for a unique experience! My first time out was certainly worth every second of the wait... | |
