Stunning Views of the Grand Canyon from Bright Angel Lodge

The Bright Angel Lodge Point provides some of the most stunning views of the Grand Canyon.

Here we move from the face to the edge of the Canyon and can see along the flow direction of the Colorado River.

The lodge itself is a place to live but I did not stay there since I was on a single day tour from Las Vegas in June 2023.

There are access points to the cliff from all sides of the lodge.

The points are unfortunately not accessible for the wheelchair-bound people.

Behind the lodge, they have installed free binoculars that are very powerful and high resolution providing a close-up look of what’s happening on the canyon face.

I was able to see a few mountain goats, and eagles.

I won’t say I was lucky since that phrase has a completely different meaning in US English.

Here’s another view of the Grand Canyon from the Bright Angel Lodge where the canyon cliffs are closer than anywhere else.

This side of the cliff also has dense vegetation since it on the opposite side of the rain shadow region according to the tour guide.

On way to the lodge is Lookout Studio, a viewpoint.

Here’s another amazing view of the Grand Canyon form the Look Out Studio.

How to Reach

I took a tour bus from Las Vegas to reach here.

Where to Eat

The best place is the Grand Canyon Visitor Center where most tour buses will halt after a 2-hour travel from Las Vegas.

What a amazing share @TusharSuradkar Sir! The other day, I was watching one video that were travelling over the Grand Canyon, giving their viewers a ariel view of it! A treat for eyes! Nature has its own vibrations and color combination! Its hard to register in one blink of eyes! USA does a lot to offer to local and outside travelers, that is hard to push back and motivating to travel more across USA cities! Best Regards Sir!

That’s a great way of decribing the place @TusharSuradkar . In your post specific to a place, you also highlight the nearby attractions which is very nice to have.

I have liked the binoculars installed behind the lodge which helps provide a close-up look of the canyon face.

Thank you @AnubhaBangia @PrasadVR for the appreciation :+1:

The binoculars are normally charged and are not free at most places @Kumaarsantosh .

One must insert a coin upon which the rotation is released and also the cover opens up.

After that there is a spring mechanism like a mechanical clock which allows viewing for a minute after which it closes automatically.

I am sure @TravellerG will admire this beauty from the past - no electronics, no card punching, pure mechanical device that starts on a coin and operates on its own + doing this for decades :blush:

I am talking about this device in the photo below:
