Sharing some Grand Canyon Rim to River thoughts while they are fresh.
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 6:00 AM. Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Plan accordingly.
