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.
