Quick Grand Canyon Rim to River turnaround.
We went Bright Angel down to river camps w/ a South Kaibab exit starting at 5:35 AM. Rim started cold and the canyon floor warmed up by late morning. Upper switchbacks held some icy patches before sun hit them.
Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 5 scenery.
Already planning the next one.
