Note that there are mules on the N Kaibab trail also and no water locations, so Bright Angel is probably the best option on hot days unless you like carrying lots of water up the trail.
Glad you guys enjoyed your adventure. As a Flagstaff local, I never take what we have here for granted. Being able to do the things you did on a regular basis is such a luxury! Best wishes.
this trip report and am impressed. Our family is heading to Arizona in 2 weeks. My wife and I have hiked in Arizona a lot and especially enjoy the Northern part. Congrats on a great trip.

I'm definitely jealous...You have to have a "tight-knit" group and be in good shape to do
