Bright Angel Campground on limited time.
We went Bright Angel Trail down to Bright Angel Camp starting at 5:10 AM. Summer heat made inner canyon challenging. Corridor trails well-maintained and signed.
Already planning the next one.
Tips
- Pack a dry layer.
- Know the signs of altitude.
- Check weather the morning of.
- Poles help more than you think.
