Quick Grand Canyon Rim to River turnaround.
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 5:35 AM. Clear skies gave us big temp swings between rim and river. Upper switchbacks held some icy patches before sun hit them.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5.
Hope this helps.
