Conditions played out exactly as forecast on Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went South Kaibab descent w/ one night at Bright Angel area starting at 5:35 AM. Clear skies gave us big temp swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5.
10/10 would recommend...
