Bright Angel Creek is a small stream in Grand Canyon National Park, United States. It runs about 19 miles (30 kilometers) from Roaring Springs to the Colorado River, where it joins the river near the end of the North Kaibab Trail on the canyon's north side. The creek starts at Roaring Springs, which emerges from a cliff along the North Kaibab Trail, and flows down to the Colorado. The North Kaibab Trail largely follows the creek, including through "the Box," a narrow, high-walled stretch that gets very hot in the summer. When Bright Angel Creek reaches the Colorado River, it travels through eroded canyons in the Vishnu Schist rock of Granite Gorge.
