Pre-dawn start on Bright Angel Campground.
We went Bright Angel Trail down to Bright Angel Camp starting at 6:00 AM. Inner canyon warmer than rim, plan layers. Water stations available on popular routes.
Soft overcast made for even exposure all day.
Short version: Slow down on muddy sections.
Check conditions before you go.
Tips
- Have a turnaround time.
- Slow down on muddy sections.
- Study the route at home.
