Pick up the Indian Trail until you hit the bridge crossing the gorge. Then, hit the South Rim Trail to get back to the park entrance.

This trail is gentle with some inclines and some steps along the way. It also has nice views of Glen Creek below. This is a popular trail, so an early start is recommended, especially on the weekends. The trail is very well maintained by the park with rock and wooden stairs in place to help hike up the steep sections.
