Budget-friendly Grand Canyon Rim to River approach. We went North Kaibab to inner canyon camp with a next-day climb out starting at 5:10 AM. Clear skies gave us big temperature swings between rim and river. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=5, views=4 Preparation is everything.
