Another Grand Canyon Rim to River in the books.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps w/ a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:25 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.
Ratings: 5 overall, 5 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Grateful for this one.
