Four-legged companion on Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went South Kaibab descent w/ one night at Bright Angel area starting at 6:00 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Upper switchbacks held some icy patches before sun hit them.
Bottom line: Keep snacks accessible.
Worth every bit of effort.
