Fauna notes from Grand Canyon Rim to River. 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. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Wildlife/nature notes: Saw ravens and mule deer, no close calls w/ wildlife. Would do again in a heartbeat.
