I have wanted to do Grand Canyon Rim to River for years. We took South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area with group of 2. Started around 6:50 AM when rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. The trail main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. We treated every water stop as optional and stayed over-prepared. That is the summary...
