Grand Canyon Rim to River.
Route: South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area. Weather: Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple.. Trail: Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.. Water: We treated every water stop as optional and stayed over-prepared.. Crowds: moderate.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
