Map 3: Continuation of Silver Bridge and River Trail Closures - May 15, through Sept. 30, 2025.

Grand Canyon National Park

A north-oriented map displays a section of the Colorado River between the points where the Bright Angel Trail (on the left) and the South Kaibab Trail (on the right) reach the river. Between these two trails, the River Trail follows the Colorado River. Two bridges, the Silver Bridge, and the Black Bridge are shown on the right-half of the map. On the left (west) of the map is River Resthouse, at the intersection of the Bright Angel Trail and the River Trail. The entire length of the River Trail between River Resthouse and the South Kaibab Trail junction, along with the Silver Bridge are marked closed between May 15 and September 30. The map extends above the Black Bridge, where the North Kaibab Trail makes a left turn, passes Boat Beach, then turns north along Bright Angel Creek, continuing past Bright Angel Campground, the Ranger Station, and finally, Phantom Ranch Canteen, at the top of the map.
