Compared to the long trails, Grand Canyon Rim to River is:
We went South Kaibab descent with one night at Bright Angel area starting at 4:45 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.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 3/5. Scenery 5/5.
Check conditions before you go.
