| We did this route (across and back) in one day as a post-Thanksgiving trail run. I think that with the miles out to the North Rim overlook, it was somewhere in the ~48 miles round-trip. By the time we got back down to the Colorado, it was dark and the (just past) full moon had risen and was reflecting off of the river. Beautiful. It inspired us enough for the climb back up Bright Angel. We finished at about midnight and immediately collapsed into slumber! |
