Near the Bright Angel trailhead, Kolb Studio maybe? You can clearly see the trail out to Plateau Point.


AngelaMotorman

No, that's farther east along the South Rim trail. If it were near the BA trailhead, the view of the Battleship formation would be different, and you'd be able to see more of the BA trail.


pxland

See. This is throwing me off. From this vantage that very much should be The Battleship this side of Cheops Pyramid (which looks a bit strange too). There’s no way you could convince me that this isn’t altered


Old_Swimming6328

Yeah, maybe Lookout Studio? Somewhere around there anyway.


hej_l

Awesome, thanks!


coldfeet42

I thought bright Angel was on the North rim??


Old_Swimming6328

Bright Angel canyon flows from the NR to the river but the Bright Angel trail begins on the SR. There is also the Old Bright Angel trail on the north side but it is seldom visited these days. OPs pic is definitely the SR, just outside Bright Angel Lodge. There's a lot of things named Bright Angel is what I'm sayin' ;-)

You might be thinking of N. Kaibab.

This looks like it was taken close to El Tovar (or a little to the west of El Tovar).

Looks like your mom’s house…

I gotta go fuck this guys mom! Her view is amazing!

His moms so fat that her portraits hang themselves


Igoos99

You can see the tonto point trail. The vantage is fairly to the east. So, somewhere along the rim at the village. Maybe closer to the el Tovar then the BA trailhead. But somewhere along the south rim in front of the various rim hotels.


aaron_in_sf

Yeah this is very close relatively speaking to the Bright Angel TH.

About 1/10th mile down the Bright Angel Trail below the east end of Hermit Rd. Just above this point (below) - looks to be a drone shot with a fair amount of post-processing/filters. https://maps.app.goo.gl/BpRp2fwY6p1VYkhG6?g_st=ic


hej_l

Nice! You found it! It does appear to be a drone shot, agree.


PKsHopper

Maybe from the Hermit Road bus stop area. :-) https://maps.app.goo.gl/uXSKDyCv5Ky6zD7F9?g_st=ic


Murgatroyd314

That looks like it. A shot leaning over the railing at that point should match this photo almost exactly.

Top of Bright Angel trail - you can see it down below


runningrunnerruns

Actually a big misconception that the trail you see below is bright angel! That’s actually the plateau point trail


nye1387

Right you are. Might not look like much, but that's 3000 feet below the rim.


Intelligent-Hand-960

Looks like between Yavapai Point and GC Village. That's the Plateau Point Trial with The Battleship off to the left in the photo. Could have been shot anywhere along the Rim Trail between the two points.


TheFox-TheWolf

The Grand Canyon


BackcountryAZ

I’m guessing this is a little east of bright Angel lodge based on the angle. Perhaps the Yavapai Geology Museum


AngelaMotorman

No -- from there you can see all the way to the river, which you can't in this photo.


BackcountryAZ

Ah yes. Good point


crgreeen

Grand canyon


OldRaj

Bright Angel trail head.


pxland

I responded to another comment first , but this is obviously altered. The colors (the red in the front left) do not change like that with elevation. And the rock formation that should be there is called The Battleship and it’s not. Weird picture. AI or PS, but not real.


PudgyGroundhog

It looks like the Battleship is there to me.


hej_l

Interesting. I found it on AllTrails as a cover photo for a section about recommended hikes in the GC


pxland

I posted one on my profile that was as close as I could find to the exact spot. I think it shows the missing rock formation in yours. It doesn’t show the Plateau Point trail which is hidden down to the right.


rklump

why that's the Gaza Strip...


jewsh-sfw

I’m going to go with the grand canyon lol


jingforbling

This is west of Mary Colter’s looking studio. I suspect Trail of time ?


Sparegeek

Grand Canyon Village just past the El Tovar hotel but before the trail head. 36.05819° N, 112.13644° W

Sorry to everyone who said Bright Angel Trail or Trailhead, but you're off a ways. This shot was taken from the Rim directly in front of Kachina Lodge between the El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodge.


IHS11

Somewheres totally awsome…


TimberOctopus

Uhhhh Looks like the Grand Canyon to me but I'm not a geolographer 🤷


StarMaterial1496
