How crowded does Grand Canyon Rim to River feel on a typical February weekend?

Trying to set expectations for my Grand Canyon backcountry permit day. We are a group of 5. Route is Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit. Any crowding tips?

Crowding is usually worst at trailheads and pinch points. Starting early helps more than almost anything.


Keep your group moving through tight sections, then take longer breaks in wider areas so you are not blocking flow.
