First time doing Grand Canyon Rim to River and WOW.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 5:35 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
TLDR: Bring the rain layer even if clear.
Grateful for this one.
Quick notes:
- Bring the rain layer even if clear.
- Start earlier than you think.
