Bright Angel Creek

Description

When John Wesley Powell arrived to the side canyon in which Phantom Ranch sits today, he and crew were welcomed by a clear running, rejuvenating creek which lifted their spirits amidst their harrowing 1869 river expedition through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In sharp contrast to the names they bestowed upon some of the nasty creeks upriver, like the Dirty Devil, they would later name this creek the Bright Angel. Take a "Minute Out In It" to experience the gentle song of this Canyon oasis.
