; to the rivers edge; one can not do both the same day. Two ardu-ous days, therefore, will give you a rapid glance at the general features. Threedays will enable you to substitute the newer Hermit Trail, with a night in thecanyon, for the Bright Angel Trail. Four or five days will enable you to seethe Grand Canyon; but after you see it you will want to live with it awhile.There are two other trails, the Bass Trail and the Grand View. The canyon should be seen first from the rim. Hours, days, may be spentin emotional contemplation of this vast abyss. Navajo Point, Grand View,Shoshone Point, El Tovar, Hopi Point, Sentinel Point, Pima Point, YumaPoint, the Hermit Rim—these are a few only of many spots of inspiration.
