Compared to the long trails, Grand Canyon Rim to River is:
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 6:00 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Upper switchbacks held some icy patches before sun hit them.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 4/5.
You got this.
