Itinerary description
Be aware there are toilets and water going down (Bright Angel Trail), but not going up from the river to South Kaibab Trailhead. Last chance to refill water is at the Phantom Ranch.
You can swim into the river.
Use the free shuttle bus to pick up your car.
Consider doing it in reverse, the last part at the end of the S Kaibab trail is really step.
