twitterGrand Canyon trail is closed
Thursday, Jan. 13, 2005 | 9:18 a.m.
The Bright Angel Trail, one quarter mile below the trailhead in the Grand Canyon's South Rim, has been closed to all traffic, mules and hikers because of numerous rock slides and wall failures.
Weather has prevented trail crews from performing work to re-open the trail, Maureen Oltrogge of the National Park Service said.
A significant rock fall on Jan. 5 closed the Bright Angel trail from Mile and a Half House to Indian Gardens. The latest closure extends the damaged trail.
One-day and overnight mule trips operated by Xanterra Parks and Resorts, LLC to Phantom Ranch have been suspended. Visitors with reservations for mule trips should contact Xanterra at (928) 638-2631.
Anyone planning a hike in the Grand Canyon's wintery conditions should contact the park's Backcountry Information Center at (928) 638-7875.
