Done Grand Canyon Rim to River a few times now. Here is the latest.
We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp w/ a next-day climb out starting at 4:45 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Check conditions before you go.
