Where the trail starts down into the canyon is a large sandstone slab with the words\, "Bright Angel Trailhead" inscribe d into the stone. There are large boulders on either side of the stone sla b. \n\nTwo sets of accessible bathrooms at the back of the courtyard face north toward a wide-open concrete plaza\, with a water bottle filling stat ion at the right. Limestone boulders ring a couple garden areas in the cen ter of the plaza\, each with a stone bench under tall shade awnings.\n\n30 feet (9 m) west down a slight incline from the water station\, an oval-sh aped mule corral is delineated by 18 stone pylons\, each 3 feet (1m) squar e by four feet (1.2 m) tall with metal pipe suspended between them. These ring a low stone wall surrounding a 100-foot (30 m) diameter oval-shaped c orral.\n\nThe water bottle filling station is located outdoors on the west side of the public restroom building nearest to the stone corral. Attache d to the west-facing wall is a brown metal cage enclosing an area measurin g approximately 6 feet (1.8 meters) wide\, 8 feet (2.4 meters) high\, and 12 feet (3.6 meters) deep. A single spring-loaded door\, large enough for a person to enter\, provides access. Inside\, several metal water spigots are available for use. The enclosure and spring-loaded door are designed t o prevent elk and other wildlife from accessing the spigots. Previously\, unprotected spigots led to conflicts between visitors and elk\, resulting in injuries.
