Some guidance for anyone planning Bright Angel Campground.
We went Bright Angel Trail down to Bright Angel Camp starting at 6:25 AM. Spring and fall offered best temp range. Steep switchbacks require good pace management.
Key considerations: Wave at other hikers.
Bottom line: Tell someone your plan.
Still thinking ~ this one.
