Frentsos, Barton, Hursey and Jackson families at Yaki Point trail head, Grand Canyon, Arizona
S. Kaibab Trail below Yaki Point
Kay on the S. Kaibab. The usual route for the loop hike to Phantom Ranch is down the 6.5 mile S. Kaibab (considered too steep for normal humans to use to climb out). Then out using the 11 mile, but less steep, Bright Angel trail. The Bright Angel also brings you right back to Bright Angel Lodge and cold beer.
