Solo Colorado River Grand Canyon thoughts:
We went Multi-week journey through the Grand Canyon starting at 6:50 AM. Canyon temperature inversions created variety. River miles measured progress, not trail.
Ratings: 4 overall, 3 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Bottom line: Know the bail-out options.
Grateful for this one.
