Conditions played out exactly as forecast on Grand Canyon Rim to River.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps w/ a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:50 AM. Clear skies gave us big temp swings between rim and river. Stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
