Been doing grand canyon rim to river for years. This time:
we went south kaibab descent w/ one night at bright angel area starting at 6:00 am. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5
short version: download your map before you lose service.
Already planning the next one.
