Another Grand Canyon Rim to River in the books.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps w/ a South Kaibab exit starting at 5:35 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.
Short version: Mark key waypoints.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
