Grand Canyon Rim to River w/ the pup.
We went South Kaibab descent w/ one night at Bright Angel area starting at 5:10 AM. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Preparation is everything.
Tips
- Have a turnaround time.
- Know the bail-out options.
- Pack a dry layer.
- Mark key waypoints.
- Count your miles.
