Summary

[edit]
Description

January 15, 2012 historic photo of bicycle rental facility under construction near the Grand Canyon Visitor Center on the South Rim. This building is being constructed adjacent to parking lot 4 and is in the same location as the temporary structure used by the pilot bicycle rental operation (in operation during the 2010 and 2011 summer seasons.) NPS Photo by Michael Quinn.

The new bicycle rental services will be provided under a concession contract which will be issued for a term of 10 years. The contract will require bicycle rentals, as well as guided daily bicycle tours from approximately May 15 to October 15. The contract will also require year-round, "grab and go" food and beverage service targeted toward hikers, bikers and pedestrians.

Grand Canyon National Park's 2008 South Rim Visitor Transportation Plan provides for bicycle rentals, guided tours, and limited food service in the Mather Point area. The National Park Service began construction of this new building to support the bike rental operations and house the additional services in November, 2011.

Bright Angel Bicycles

On the South Rim, bicycle rentals and guided bicycle tours are available between April 1 and October 31. (other times, when weather permits - check the Bright Angel Bicycle website below for current availability) Also featured is a coffee bar and café with a "grab & go" menu targeted towards hikers, bikers and pedestrians. The Café is open year-round.

Bright Angel Bicycles offer a variety of different sizes to accommodate the whole family. All rental bicycles are very user friendly, featuring a simple 7 speed twist shift gear mechanism that easily allows any user to freely control the bicycle. Each bicycle is fit to the rider before leaving the rental area to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride.
