Kit breakdown from Grand Canyon Rim to River: We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 4:45 AM. Clear skies gave us big temp swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Gear that worked: Electrolytes, Gaiters. A light puffy was enough for dawn starts on the rim. Days like this are why I hike.
