Been doing Grand Canyon Rim to River for years. This time:
We went Bright Angel down to river camps w/ a South Kaibab exit 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.
Overall 5/5. Difficulty 4/5. Scenery 5/5.
Grateful for this one...
