I have been coming here for years. Grand Canyon Rim to River update.
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 6:50 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Take what is useful.
