Grand Canyon Rim to River terrain assessment.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:25 AM. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4
Short version: Gaiters for scree.
Grateful for this one.
