Flora notes from Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area starting at 5:35 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
Wildlife/nature notes: Only small critters around camp, nothing that changed our plan.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=5, views=4
Plan accordingly.
Quick notes:
- Keep snacks accessible.
- Move over for faster hikers.
