Gear that made the difference on Bright Angel Campground:
We went Bright Angel Trail down to Bright Angel Camp starting at 6:25 AM. Inner canyon warmer than rim, plan layers. Corridor trails well-maintained and signed.
Gear that worked: Wide-brim hat, Lip balm.
Lightweight tent for established campground.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
