I have been coming here for years. Grand Canyon Rim to River update. We went South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area starting at 6:50 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees. Ratings: 5 overall, 5 difficulty, 4 scenery. Would do again in a heartbeat.
