I have wanted to do Bright Angel Campground for years.
We took South Kaibab to Bright Angel for variety with 3 people. Started around 6:25 AM when summer heat made inner canyon challenging. The trail steep switchbacks require good pace management. Inner canyon has Bright Angel Creek for filtering.
Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 4 scenery.
Grateful for this one.
