Photo notes from grand canyon rim to river.
We went north kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 6:50 am. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Midday light was harsh but the shadows added drama.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=5
grateful for this one.
