Story

Out-and-back hike in the Grand Canyon starting at Bright Angel campground at the bottom and heading up North Kaibab trail along Bright Angel Creek to Ribbon Falls.

The moss-covered dome under the falls is made of travertine formed by calcium carbonate deposits left by the falling water over the years.
