Local perspective on Grand Canyon Rim to River. We went Bright Angel down to river camps with a South Kaibab exit starting at 6:50 AM. Wind on exposed ridges eased after sunrise and made pacing simple. Main corridor tread was firm and easy to follow all day. Trust your prep. Quick notes: - Physical map as backup. - Move over for faster hikers. - Be friendly at the trailhead. - Trust the cairns. - Phone battery backup.
