Description

Grand Canyon National Park: the Bright Angel Trailhead rehabilitation project began on September 4, 2012. The area will be under construction through April 2013. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn

During construction, the informal parking area near the trailhead and around the Bright Angel Lodge cabins will be closed.

At times, Bright Angel Lodge guests only will be allowed to park in designated areas of the construction site; all permitted guests will be required to display a parking pass visible through their windshield.

Cars parked in these permitted areas without a displayed pass will be subject to ticketing and towing. Passes will be provided to permitted guests upon check-in.

Visitors wishing to access the Bright Angel Trail or other services along the rim are encouraged to park at Lot D – Backcountry Information Center; or, take the Village Shuttle Bus Route from parking lots A-C or parking lots located at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center.

At all times, at least one route to the Bright Angel Trail will remain open. However, through December 2012, either the southwest trailhead or the northeast trailhead will be closed for construction.

Fencing is located around the construction site and Rim Trail Detour signs are posted throughout for access to the Bright Angel Trail, Kolb and Lookout Studios, Rim Lodges, and Hermits Rest.

A rim trail detour map is attached outlining the current closure. The map will be redistributed as route closures change.

Work will include: a 90 car paved parking lot around the Bright Angel Lodge cabins; an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible Rim Trail connection between the Hermits Rest Route Transfer shuttle bus stop and the Kolb Studio; reconstruction of stone masonry retaining walls near the Kolb Studio and near the southwest trailhead of the Bright Angel Trail; new restrooms and a meeting plaza with shade structures; and burial of utilities.
