Grand canyon rim to river.
- route: north kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out
- weather: clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river.
- trail: stone steps were dry by mid-morning but still rough on knees.
- water: water points were open, but we still carried backup capacity.
- crowds: light
the kind of day that resets perspective.
