Fauna notes from Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went South Kaibab descent w/ one night at Bright Angel area starting at 5:35 AM wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Wildlife/nature notes: Spotted bighorn sheep on lower sections near the river.
Check conditions before you go.
