Golden hour was unreal on Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:25 AM. Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
Light was best in the first two hours.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 4/5.
Already planning the next one.
