It was fun, difficult but fun. It was 38 degrees on the north rim at dawn. 102 degrees at the bottom. Most of the run out it was in the 90’s. I would suggest to anyone to go in March or April, not in the summer. Also if I did it again I would go from the south rim to the north rim. The north rim is about 14 miles down but the south is only 7 miles. You are climbing about a mile in elevation, so it is very steep. It is beautiful scenery though, no matter which way you go.
Wow! How was the Rim to Rim run?
