Cannot believe I finally did Bright Angel Campground!
We went South Kaibab to Bright Angel for variety starting at 5:10 AM. Spring and fall offered best temperature range steep switchbacks require good pace management.
Check conditions before you go.
Quick notes:
- Tell someone your plan.
- Phone battery backup.
- First aid kit is mandatory.
- Turnaround time is not negotiable.
- Physical map as backup.
