Grand Canyon R2R Run from North Kaibab to Bright Angel Trail on Oct 5th 2020. Joe McGovern and I take on the 24 mile run down the NK to Phantom Ranch through Indian Gardens to the South Rim. Took us about 10 hours at a reasonable pace with sufficient time for photos and video. NK trail starts at 8300 ft with spectacular and stunning red rock walls and trails cut into the canyon descending quickly past Supai Tunnel and down past Roaring Springs. Trail grade begins to relax past Manzanita Resthouse, thru Cottonwood, then further into 'the Box'. While 'the Box' may be intolerably hot in the summer, the moderate 90 weather and early departure allowed us shade as we ran along the verdant stream. Almost disappointed to reach Phantom Ranch we joined up with Shannon, Julie and the group for an ice cold cup of Lemonade. Our thirst quenched, we crossed the Colorado and began the arduous ascent up to the South Rim. Last mile into Indian Gardens was challenging as I had run out of water. Restocked, we completed the climb to the South Rim to meet John and celebrate with the group.
