Before you commit to Grand Canyon Rim to River, read this.
We went South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area starting at 6:25 AM. Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Key considerations: Gaiters for scree.
10/10 would recommend.
