Just got back from Grand Canyon Rim to River and had to write this down.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:00 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Grateful for this one.
