Today was the day. 21km (South Kaibab Trail, 1660m elevation gain in a single climb and 9:15hrs). ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/30E0C00C-533E-4A06-BF95-3EE494EC91F11776486518.062738) The day was beautifully cold. 1° C at the rim when we started at 6:30am and low 20s° C at the Colorado river when we hit it by 10:30am. Perfect weather. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/30E0C00C-533E-4A06-BF95-3EE494EC91F11776486684.957878) We were a party of four and our total age is 220. ![](https://usermedia.actifit.io/30E0C00C-533E-4A06-BF95-3EE494EC91F11776486839.067525)
