Grand Canyon National Park Bright Angel Trailhead Sign . March 1, 2013. Rock cutter Andy Dufford sandblasts letters into the new Bright Angel Trailhead Sign. The sign consists of a 9’x5’x12” sandstone slab weighing approximately 3 tons with two ‘bookend’ boulders on either side. Each of the bookend boulders was sawn and chiseled to create a slot to help support the slab vertically. The boulder on the east side also serves as a bench. The sign is also supported by a concrete foundation. “Bright Angel Trailhead” is sandblasted into the slab. It’s sited to capture a background view of the canyon
