Quick Grand Canyon Rim to River turnaround.
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 6:00 AM. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
TLDR: Download your map before you lose service.
Some trips stay w/ you.
