We hiked the South Kaibab trail down to the Colorado River and back to the Rim on February 2nd, 2021. Left Sedona at 6:18am, got to the Grand Canyon at 8:30am, and started the hike at 9:00am with the intention to hike down to Skeleton Point which is a 6 miles hike down and back. At Skeleton Point we still had lots of energy and decided to hike further- then the canyon completely sucked us in and we kept going down until we reached the Colorado River. It was 2pm by the time we got down to the river - took breaks and lots of stops to take photographs the way down. Started the hike back to the RIM at 2:18pm and we finished at 7:00pm. Hiking back was extremely hard. Harder than we thought. It got dark on us before we finished at the trailhead.
It was a day that we will always remember for. Breathtaking views all the way.

HIKING DOWN TO THE RIVER AND BACK IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN ONE DAY. WE MADE THE DECISION TO DO IT BUT WOULD NEVER DO IT AGAIN!
