Grand Canyon Rim to River terrain assessment. We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 4:45 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Already planning the next one. Quick notes: - Trust the cairns. - Bring the rain layer even if clear. - Mark key waypoints. - Phone battery backup.
