Okay so Grand Canyon Rim to River was really something. We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 5:35 AM. Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 4/5. Days like this are why I hike...
