Description

Just below Indian Garden, on the Bright Angel Trail, hikers and mule riders pass along a winding and narrow shelf, sitting high above Garden Creek. This section of the trail, called the Tapeats Narrows, meanders through the Tapeats Sandstone, an over 500-million-year-old rock layer deposited during the Cambrian Period. Water cutting through this hard rock layer leaves behind cliffs and narrows as opposed to the slopes of softer rock. Take a Minute Out In It down in the depths of this riparian respite.
