Just follow the trail into the canyon and pay attention to your left as you go through the 1st tunnel. You will see few red pictographs on the canyon walls. Take a good lens of at least 100-200mm.

The Bright Angel Trail is one of the few trails which cross the Grand Canyon, and descends into the canyon from the Grand Canyon Village on the southern rim. The trail is an ancient one, originally used by the Havasupai Indians to reach their gardens low down in the canyon. It was named Bright Angel after the creek and canyon named by intrepid Colorado River runner John Wesley Powell.

Just beyond the first tunnel on the trail down the side of the canyon can be seen some ancient petroglyphs, where there are animals, hand and footprints, and many enigmatic symbols.

Hiking down this trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, right down the giant cliff sided canyon on a narrow zig-zag path, is a highlight of any visit to this spectacular area. But beware, it is not only a mountain climb in reverse, with all the uphill to be done on the way back, but also the sun will now be high in the hot afternoon sky, making the ascent a very arduous trip.

A reasonable picture of some of the deer paintings can be seen here.

While an excellent photographic guide to hiking the trail itself can be found here.
